Answer #1

Do it when your done. Swelling and water retention could make it look different than you want. Just pe patient.

Answer #2

There is always a slight risk of infection when getting a tatoo.

Personally I’d recommend holding off until after you deliver since there is a slight chance of it causing your prgnancy complications.

If you just have to get some ink be sure to go to a reputable artist who follows all the best practices, (autoclave, single use needles, new sealed ink, etc.)

Answer #3

Well, the first thing is, where are you getting your tattoo? If its from ur back/shoulder or stomache, than I think you should hold back, but if it’s on somewhere no where close to your baby, I don’t think it will be a problem. Also, besides the whole tattoo getting infected thing, I think if you were to get it on your stomache or back, it would look a little strange after having your baby longer, because the tat. may stretch, which is seriously, not cool hahahah.
