by "shot" do you mean an epidural? no, a
lower back tattoo should not interfere
with an epi.
and for the record, an epidural is more
than "a shot". it's a huge needle that
goes into your spine.

i had *horrible* back labor and was in so
much pain i seriously didn't even notice
the epi. i felt *nothing* and the relief
was almost immediate.
i told my nurse if i wasn't already
married i would have proposed to the
anesthesiologist.

epidurals scare
the *** out of me! I didn't have one with
my daughter.

Theres no way I'll allow a stranger to
stick a 3 inch needle into my spine!
