I'm Currently Feeling:  | Tattoos
I have a lovely tattoo on my belly, to the left near the bone and have just realised it may get a little stretched  as my pregnancy progresses. Anyone else got a tattoo there and what happend to it? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My sister has two tattoos, one on either side, near the bones. She had her first baby in February and both tattoos got CRAZY stretch marks going through them. Once they heal some more she has to go back to get the coloring redone cause they are a LOT lighter now in the stretched areas. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | This is why I waited until I was done having kids to get my tattoo. (I don't have it yet.) I couldn't find a place that didn't worry me. I was worried about my back because of wanting an epidural. My breasts were out of the question because I breastfeed. My butt - FORGET ABOUT IT! lol Hopefully your's won't stretch too bad and it will turn out okay.
Good luck! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | That's why I got a tramp stamp. I figured the spine is the only place on my body that wouldn't stretch with pregnancy. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It's not true about the tattoo on the back- it doesn't matter at ALL. I have a larger tattoo on my back. As far as the original question- the truth about tattoos stretching is that everyone is different. I've seen plenty of women with stomach tattoos that look PERFECT after having a baby, and others that look horrible! It just depends on your skin! Some of us stretch out all to hell, and some of us don't! You won't know for sure until it's over honey! Just try your best to keep you tattoo well-moisturized! Good luck!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Ive got one on my belly... 
but I havent had a baby yet, so Ive no idea how its going to go.I cant imagine it coming off too well.
I was going to wait, but I was in acar crash that killed three of my friends, and on the one yr anniversary of it I decided to get the tattoo done in respect and my tummy was the only place I could think of! I never really saw myself having a baby.
Who knew
