The main concern with getting a tattoo during pregnancy is the risk of contracting an infection, such as Hepatitis B and HIV. Although the risk is small, it is recommended that you wait to get a tattoo after your baby is born.
You will be very interested to know that little information is available about the safety of skin dyes used for tattooing during pregnancy. It is possible that the chemicals in the dye may affect the development of the baby during the first 12 weeks, but the risks are unknown, as are any effects on the baby during the remainder of the pregnancy.
Some women may have also heard that if they have a tattoo on their back, then they will be unable to get an epidural. Very few studies have been done on the risks that could exist for women who have back tattoos and receive an epidural. So far none of these studies have conclusively found any data that shows that there are risks, so most anesthesiologists have no problem giving an epidural to a woman with a back tattoo. If you want an epidural and have a tattoo on your back, it still would be best to contact the hospital and find out the policy in regard to tattoos and epidurals.
The risk of contracting an infection is small, but you could pass the infection to your baby if you are breastfeeding. Ultimately it's your decision, but you may want to wait until you are not breastfeeding to get a new tattoo.

It isn't nontoxic to get a tattoo whilst pregnant in view that of the hazard of illness. Besides that, no authentic blank save will tattoo a lady that's pregnant. When you move to a store they've a style so that you can fill out that evidently states that if you're pregnant they are going to no longer supply you a tattoo.

The ink will not go into your blood stream, but if something goes wrong, such as contaminated needles or ink, the baby will be harmed. Most artists won't do a tat on a woman who's pregnant anyway, because of swelling and weight gain.

Like the others say, NO WAY. Your body will be stretching and changing thru your pregnancy, you don't want to risk yoru health and the babies. Youc an always get an infection or worse HIV, why put your baby thru all of that? A tattoo can always wait, save the money for the baby!
24 weeks with my first!

It's not a good idea. You are right. What her hurry cant she wait a few months till she has had her baby? In fact why does she need one at all they are hideous things and make you look common.
