No, it isn't true. It's an urban myth.

I have a tattoo on my lower back and i had a spinal block (a deeper and more risky version of an epidural) when i had a c-section last november.
if medical staff have told you that you canthave an epidural they are talking rubbish.
People just try to scare you. Dont believe what they say.

I've never heard that before and as tattoos at the bottom of the back are dead popular nowadays I'm pretty sure that lots of women with them have epidurals! Sounds like a load of rubbish to me!

I think she's reffering to if u have a tat on ur lower back and pushing the epidural through the ink and into the spine. This is a BULL$HIT myth! I have a tattoo on my lower back and have had 2 epidurals AND a spinal right through it!

I have a tattoo & had an epidural. I believe that you've been misinformed. If you're still doubtful, contact the anathesialogist. (sp)

That is false. My best friend has tattoos and she has had an epidural.

I think it may have something to do with the location of a tattoo on your back as a tattoo is scar tissue & it hurts like b&tch if they can even get the needle thru. Ask your doctor to be sure about this tho.

I've been on the tattooing scene for 9 years and have never heard of anything like that!
