I don't have any tattoos yet, but I was going to get one for my 18th birthday for my best friend who died in an atv accident. I am now a few weeks past my birthday and I am deff going to wait until after my 6 week check up in March to get it. No way I would ever get a tat while pregnant!

It's not the ink that effects the baby it's risk of infection, since your immune system is down it takes longer to heal and is more probe to getting infected ... Most tattoo shops will refuse service to pregnant women

I don't think it's the ink that's the problem but I got one too when I was around 5 weeks without knowing I was pregnant. Everything is okay with my baby at 26 weeks but I wouldn't have gotten it done had I known.

Hey I am a professional tattoo artists at a very well reknown and respected shop and I'm also pregnant yay! but anyways  while getting tattooed while pregnant can't hurt Ur baby because ink does not get into their bloodstream, everytime u get a tattoo u r opening Ur body to infection which in turn could cause major problems. It's probly best just to wait also after breastfeeding for the same reason.

I had a friend who got tattoos on her chest while she was pregnant and then bestfed. Her baby got really. Sick she didn't know why turned out her baby had ink poisoning and almost died. I love tattoos but they are not worth risking my babys unborn life
