And they don't do piercings because of the infection thing as well.

..you're actually not supposed to for neither of those reasons. Tattoos are a literal permanent infection - the ink triggers a reaction with your blood to combat the infection which keeps the ink in place. The problem with this while pregnant is that your body handles infections differently. A minor infection (such as tattoos) while pregnant can become much worse. Which would harm baby.

No respective tattoo parlour will give a tattoo to a pregnant woman, nor will they preform piercings. There is no evidence that a tattoo will or will not harm your baby which is why they will not do it.

Don't do it! It can put your body into shock and the baby will go in shock as well.
