I have a tattoo on the side of my stomach,
which is growing with the rest of it lol..
Is it going to look normal after I have
the baby
and also.. Im getting stretch marks that
are going right through all the colors in
it? And u can clearly see them threw it?
Is it gonna be messed up forever???

Stretch marks never disappear. I have a
tiny tatoo of a butterfly on my hip, and
i'm five months with twins, and I can kind
of see it stretching. It mainly just
looks a bit bigger. However, your tatoo
might stretch out, and then it will look
kind of droopy after the baby's out. You
won''t know until then for sure, though.

I heard they normaly never go back so you
will need touch ups, and they dont
normally recomend getting a tattoo there
if you ever plan on getting preggers

Unless you do some major crunches after
the baby I don't think it'll ever look the
same. My friend has a very saggy looking
sun on her belly now.

Don't be scared. I have a tattoo of
roses around my belly button and it
stretched.. A lot!! But after the baby
it went back. I do have two stretch
marks I can see very clearly, but the tat
itself looks fine. One of the thin lines
in the vine is stretched, but it doesn't
look bad at all. =)

Thank goodness. I was told that I could
never get pregnant so I got a lot of tummy
and back work (piercing, tats) done (it
looks really hot in a 2 piece). I'm glad
to know that there is hope that it will
look normal again. I'm gonna have to hit
the gym with a vengeance and make sure I
keep the skin moisturized so it doesn't
sag. :shock: I want my 2 pieces back one
day!!!

I got all my work done on my shoulder
blades only because I knew that it
wouldn't stretch there!! Lol...Every time
I wanted to get something cute on or
around my belly..I would always tell
myself..When I have kids..I don't want it
to look jacked up!! Lol...Which is
essentially what's gonna happen....I'm
sure you can excercise and get them back
semi-normal...But touch up work will more
than likely def. Have to be involved!!
It'll be all good though!!
I took my belly ring out at 3 months
because it started to stretch and look
like an oval...Now I got a stretchmark
going right though it..So it looks like an
x...Lol...Kinda gross looking...But that's
what I gotta deal with!!!
I'm sure i'll get it re pierced to cover
it up!! Lol!!

I took my ring out 3 months ago for the
same reason, oddly enough the hole hasn't
closed yet. I'm glad about that because
then I won't have to re pierce

I wonder if mine is still open from the
stretching too?? I haven't attempted to
put it back in...My fiance thinks it's
still open as well!!
Imma have to try tonight!! In the past I
took it out and it only took a week to
begin to close...My fiance actually had to
repierce it...Talk about hurt!! Lol...
I'll let ya know what happens!!

As for piercings, every few days you
should put the piercing back in just to
keep it open. You don't have to leave it
in, just put it through and take it back
out.

I took my belly button ring out at about 3
months probably.. And now its all
stretched out, but the hole is still
open.. I had it pierced for about 3 years
tho b4 I took it out..
As for my tattoo.. Its a paw printin
black with the chineese symbol for courage
in the middle of it in light blue, through
the black u can see some stretch marks, as
I am just starting to get them on my
stomach (29 weeks) but my tattoo is right
in the middle of it all and has grown
double its size.. Its somehting I never
thought of when I was getting it done,
considering I was 16 when I had it done..

My mom does tattoos and I know for a fact
you can always get a tattoo done over if
stretch marks kinda fade it or make it
look funny.... It hurts like hell cause
its going threw scar tissue and it swells
up all big and puffy but dont worry u can
get your tat fixed if u want too...
