How about simply getting a temporary tattoo, if you just cant hold off.

I commend you for thinking of the health of another human beings unborn baby, and not giving her a tattoo while she is pregnant. I didn’t even think of the adrenaline being released in the unborn baby or the breast milk. I know a lot of mothers to be are looking for this information because its by far the most popular post on this blog, getting over 100 hits everyday.

I was looking for some reference for an appointment I have (I work at a tattoo shop)and I stumbled across this little page and I thought I would give my input on this a little bit. If we have a pregnant woman come into the shop wanting a tattoo we won’t do it. Getting tattooed while pregnant can cause too much stress to the baby, and while getting tattooed your body releases adrenaline, which can flow through into the breast milk. You’re also not supposed to get tattooed while breast feeding for that same reason. If you are to get tattooed while breast feeding, you shouldn’t boob feed your child for at least a day so that the adrenaline can diminish. This is all what I have come to learn through the years. I hope this can help some people out.

I was thinking about getting a new tatoo but reading the comments Im going to wait until after the baby is born. My baby is more important than getting a tattoo right now. Thank you for this great pregnancy resource.

Very inadvisable. Any tattoo can become infected, and NO tattoo ink available is FDA approved, I don’t care what any tattoo parlor says.

Why take a chance? Wait until after you deliver. What’s the rush?

Anything external works your immune system harder. Tats near the stomach area I believe to be not good.
Plus if you got it on your stomach or anywhere stretch after birth your tat may not look as nice When back to normal size.

I know getting a tatto is fun, but I don’t know how safe it is when you are pregant. I would research a little more before getting a tattoo while you are pregnunt. This post is about tattoos and pregnacy.
