Well obviously I know the answer to this already.. but im going to ask it anyway!

I have the opportunity to get a tattoo tomorrow..

Now I am 8 weeks pregnant, and I know this is going to be a big no no!

BUT has anyone had one/heard of someone who had one/know if they're okay??? x

kirstylm

haven't heard either way so not sure! I would LOVE to get another tattoo if it's actually safe but I'm afraid I can't answer your question!

Common sense woul tell me no though

xrosanna

Im looking on the internet and a lot of websites are saying there isnt enough info on whether its not safe, or is safe! So nobody knows.

The ink doesn't enter your bloodstream though!

I've had tattoos before, so it's not like I don't know what to expect. Gaaaah! xx

i was asked when i got my tattoos if i was pregnant...i said no n that was the end of it...never heard anything about why not to get one but they did ask me x

xrosanna

Hmm, now im going to sound even more stupid..
But it's a tattooist I know personally, and I know he's very clean etc.
So I wouldn't be going to a studio to have it done!

A family member of mine has had x amount of tattoos done by him and they've all been perfect x

I would phone up a few tattoo shops as if there is risk in it they wouldn't take that gamble!

A reputable tattooist should never tattoo a pregnant woman hunny. Is it really worth the risk?

debgreasby

I wouldn't risk it x

xrosanna

I know it's not.. but was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it at all..
Im desperate to get a tattoo.. it's like an addiction haha!! xx

kirstylm

I know what u mean by an addiction!! One leads to two, leads to three ..... I really really want another but personally am going to wait till baby is out my belly at least then if I put weight on I'll be able to get myself back to my normals size before rather than my tattoo stretching and lookin nasty ( depending on where it us!)
