I wouldn't do anything while pregnant. I
wouldn't do anything with alot of
excitement. I'd just wait untill you have
your child to do any life changeing
decisions.

No! You are not supposed to get tattoos
or piercings while you are pregnant.

Ive heard that it's okay to get a tattoo
while you're pregnant just no peircings.
I wouldn't advise getting a tattoo because
you're still at risk for hiv or hepatitis.

No I just read that on pregnancy weekly.
Could cause infection, if it gets in the
blood bad for you and could prove fatal
for baby. Beside that if it is anywhere
from boobs to as/s it will be stretched
out and never look right after pregnancy
swelling goes away.

Also remember that your immune system is
down and your body is very tired.
Getting a tattoo or a peircing can cause
serious problems, your body is less
prepared to heal and fight infection,
especially in early pregnancy. Tattoo
ink goes into your blood stream, your
blood you share with your baby.
Definitely not a good idea!

I got a tattoo with my first child, and it
was fine. (he's 7 and healthy)
this one i'm getting my labret
pierced....
Don't worry about it... I've never heard
of not piercings... what is that? Lol
they draw blood at the doctor's office
don't they?
Ugh... I hate it when boards give crap
info. Call your doctor, and ask him.
You'll be fine.

My doctor was the one who told me not to
get tattoos or peircings. Just like how
your not supposed to dye your hair when
your pregnant either. I was told this
because I have 3 tattoos, one on the base
of my neck has to be touched up. I also
have 15 peircings.
So, its not just a board telling these
things... Its people that have had their
own experiences... Some passing on what
their doctors have told them.
So if her doctor told her the same thing
mine did, would it also be crap info?
Should I just assume my doctor is giving
me crap info because you say so?

That funny. Being that I do hair, and
have two pregnant woman I did just this
past weekend....
Like I said, call your doctor. The risks
do not change from being pregnant and when
you're not. You always are at risk for
disease with a tattoo if the things aren't
sterile.
If it's so awful, than why would tattoo
parlors accept a pregnant woman into their
shop?
They won't accept drunk people or
children, but pregnant women they give a
hell yes to?
Wow..
And as far as your doctor. I never said
anything like that. I can definetly see a
doctor saying 'maybe you shouldn't do
that' as a risk for possible health
problems concering non-sterilization.
I'm not sayin to go over there and get a
mural across your back, and pierce your
face in 8 different places.
A little defensive are we?
I've got a healthy child, and one on the
way... Should I check my 7 year old for
defects? Lmao

I am not saying it is or isn't safe. I
am just saying what my doctor told me. I
am defensive because we are here to offer
advice and our experiences, you are
putting everyone down because your so sure
your right, meanwhile other people doctors
are telling them otherwise.
The people that post here arent just a
"board", we are people with our own
opinions. If you posted before me, I
wouldnt put you down just because your
advice differs with my doctors advice.
I never said your 7 year old would be
messed up, I never said that tattoos and
peircings would cause defects. Just like
how my mother smoked the whole 9 months
with me, like many other women, and I am
just fine. Just like how I can go smoke
some weed and me and my baby would be just
fine. Just like how the doctor told me I
shouldn't eat cold cuts, but hey, I had a
turkey sandwhich for lunch.
I don't disagree with your information,
but find your "ugh... I hate it when
boards give crap info." comment to be
offensive.

I think the reason they say not to pierce
or tattoo when you are pregnant is because
your body is working overhaul to provide
for this baby, the last thing it needs to
do is fight off an infection. Do a google
search for 'tattoo while pregnant' or call
your doctor, you'll get your answer.

My mother does hair and I have 11
piercings and 1 tattoo.. My doctor said
not to do anything life changing.
Anything that gives off alot of excitement
do not do. Also do not dye your hair
while pregnant, the dye could effect your
child. Like everyone said. Ask your
doctor because people all have their own
opinion's and there are argument's about
it. Doctors know best.

It is 100% fine to get a tattoo early on
in pregnancy. For example,getting a
tattoo before you discover your pregnant.I
do not recommend getting anything on your
body peirced during pregnancy.Peircings
will automatically produce bacteria, no
matter how clean you keep it.

Even a tatto place will ask if your pg and
if you are they want give ya a taoo like
you cant donate blood when pg. When
getting a tatoo you fill out paper work to
get and it will ask if your pg. Why dont
you call a tatoo plce you will find out
the answer from them. Or ask your obgyn.
:d good luck

I am a professional accredited body
piercer and will say that I have never
heard that u cannot be pierced while
pregnant.I myself would not pierce a
pregnant woman only for the reason that
certain people react to metals differently
and can be allergic but can also cause
blood infections and end up in
hospital.Also a matter of personal hygiene
can cause a piercing to be infected I
think it is just not worth the risk either
having a tattoo or piercing while
pregnant.I think its best to wait
definatley and go to a great accredited
place with professionals.Really the time
will fly and you may even find a design
that you like better that happens alot you
will be thankful that you waited.

Is it safe too get a tattoo, no what you
need to do is worry about what you putting
your child life into anything can happen.
I think you should wait until you have
your baby and then worry about the tattoo
so you and your baby live a normal healthy
life. :)

For one I am focused on the pregnancy and
not the tattoo. What im telling you is
too worry about the child and what kind of
danger you can be putting the child threw
by getting a tattoo, and by the way im 21
years old and a mother of two.

<< the risks do not change from
being pregnant and when you're not.
>>
are you kidding me???? The risks might
not change for the woman who's pregnant,
but what about the innocent life that
could be affected? Oh, my gosh. I
can't believe you said that. I have no
idea whether or not a doctor would say
it's okay to get a tattoo while pregnant,
but is it really that important that you
can't wait nine months to get some crap
inked onto your body that you'd even risk
the worry?!?! There are so many things
wrong with that.
<<if it's so awful, than why would
tattoo parlors accept a pregnant woman
into their shop? >>
because they want to make money, and they
don't have any vested interest in the
health of your child. They're not in
the business of child care.
