tattoos

I know most all moms are going to flip out over controversial topics like this but I just got to ask.. I have a good number of tattoos and have never once had anything go wrong with them as far as infections and stuff so I decided to get another one the other day its on my arm and feels and looks great.. I am 21 weeks pregnant but not really showing I read all the papers and saw nothing about pregnancy and risks associated with tattoos.. I could understand if you were getting one directly on your baby bump but like I said I got it on my arm.. Does any one els feel like its OK to do so uf you know your body your artist and your pain talorance ??.. I know for a fact that were I go is clean and safe. And I have wonderful hygiene So I feel there is nothing wrong with it

Any reputable tattoo shop wouldn't  tattoo a pregnant lady. If they had known I'd  doubt they'd  have done it.

I personally didn't take any risks with my pregnancy and it was complicated enough.  Each to their own. Its just
Due to the risks of infection which can cause issues for bub, any i may be wrong but im led to believe that you may be more prone to them now that you are pregnant.  Best of luck
