Will you get stretch marks during pregnancy? Is there anyway to prevent this from happening, will it return to shape when the kid is born?

I'm not sure how it could fu-ck up my baby, I just like that area. By the way, I have no intention of getting a tattoo in jail, so I think I'll be reasonably safe from diseases.

Stretch marks will destroy a tattoo. There is no way to prevent stretch marks, and your body will expand however it wants to when you get pregnant.
I work in a tattoo shop and I've seen many tattoos destroyed by stretch marks. Many look pretty bad. Sometimes, the tattoo can be fixed, sometimes not.
I've also seen some hip tattoos post-pregnancy that have shrunk back to normal and look perfect with no stretch marks.
With hip and stomach tattoos its a risk you have to take.
If you get a tattoo over stretch marks, that's possible most of the time. But once the skin underneath the tattoo is ruined, it cant be fixed on top.
I found you some pics below of some tattoos that were messed up through being stretched by pregnancy. You can't see the before pictures, but I'm sure that the outlines before were clean lines, and you can see the skin and how damaged it is, and the amount of scar tissue. I would imagine both those tattoos would feel very bumpy.
Good luck!

i had 2 friends get pregnant and the tattoos ended up looking like mutated zombies after giving birth...i strongly suggest u do it elsewhere, since u dont know how ur skin will stretch out in pregnancy.

Yes, you will get stretch marks, they will never go away just turn white after about a year or so. No way of preventing them, and no your body will never be the same!

Most women get stretch marks during pregnancy. No, there is no way to avoid this.
A friend of mine had one around her belly button. Didn't look so cute after she had a baby. I wouldn't recommend it.

NOOO!!!!! Do not do it!! I had my first tattoo on my lower stomach, and after I had my baby it doesn't look the same. It's all ****** up I would suggest getting it somewhere else.

Always stretch before strenuous exercise.

Yeah, that's going to look reaaallly good when you're 40. Not to mention that you are risking getting hepatitis and HIV at a tatoo parlor.
