Nope. Other than hiv and Hep B.  Is it that serious you can't wait?

If the tattoo is really worth getting it shouldn't be a big deal to wait a few months.

Like the first two said, the ink will not set right.  It's better to wait and be safe. Why risk it y'know?

This one ratio artist said why he would never tattoo a pregnant woman again. He didn't know but he did when she came back and complained because half of it faded cause the baby ***** up everything the ink rejected and she had a huge blob on her. Terrible. Don't do it cause you never know

I dont think there is any proven facts. But a tattoo place will NOT tattoo a pregnant female for the risk of infection. Our bodies cant heal like they normally would. Its a risk I wouldnt take. You're only pregnant for a short time, just wait.
