Call and ask any tattoo artist.

Many legit artists wont touch you if you are pregnant. But hormones going through you can make the ink do funky things and make you have a reaction. I would wait. I have nine tattoos and 14 piercing but I am waiting until a while after pregnant for my next

Any good, sterile, professional shop will have you sign a waiver saying you're not pregnant.

I got one a month ago and I am 21 weeks pregnant. They say its not the best thing to do cause if the needles aren't sterile then you can get an infection a lot worse due to the baby than what you could not being pregnant. You also have to make sure that you get it where you wont swell up or the least spot where you think you will swell. Its your decision on if you get one or not just make sure its brand new needles and everything else is sterilized good.
