Pregnant women aren't supposed to get tattoos OR piercings in case of a bacterial infection. Even though strict laws are in play today to ensure the cleanliness of needles and other instruments, infections do still occur. If one gets into the bloodstream of a pregnant woman, it will travel across the umbilical cord and can affect the unborn child.

Healing can be affected by pregnancy, there can be a risk of infection from less than reputable tattoo places, and the skin elasticity can change during pregnancy meaning that post-pregnancy, that tattoo can change shape as the skin changes back to it's pre-pregnancy shape.

Risk of infection, Hepatitis, Ink Poisoning, and probably some other stuff I don't even know about.

Because there is a risk of contracting hepatitis A,B or C. Some tattooist aren't reputable so they recommend you wait until after the baby is born so if you get it the baby doesn't get it too.
Good luck.

Infection is the biggest threat. WHen you get an infection in the skin it ends up in the blood stream much quicker, which means your baby is at risk.
Beyond that the inks tend to have toxins in them that are bad for the baby.
You can wait 9 months, it wont hurt you.

Because the risk of infection and diseases from needles. You wouldn't want your baby affected by it.

risk of infection that can spread to the baby, ink posioning (some people are allergic to the ink used in tattoos and this can go for sensitve unborn babies as well), diseases such as hep C that can be passed with the needles....
