Can you still get an epidural if you have
a tattoo on your lower back or any where
else for that matter?

Yep having a tattoos makes no difference,
3 of my sister's friends have had an epi
with tattoos on their back. the only
reason i can think of for why they
wouldn't let you is if it was new perhaps
but i doubt that very much

it's a big myth that you can't get an
epidural if you have a tattoo on your
lower back. they used to think it would be
harmful or something. totally untrue.
i have a pretty large tattoo allll across
my lower back & they didn't even say
anything about it when they gave me my
epi. so you're fine!
