Answer #1

Just to be clear, the ink does NOT go into a persons bloodstream when they get a tattoo. If it did, you’d get extremely sick every time you got one. The needles don’t puncture down far enough for the ink to get to the blood stream.

The main risks with getting tattooed while pregnant are infection, diseases, and allergic reactions. These are the same risks that are posed to a woman who is not pregnant. However, that being said, that does not mean that, if you have been tattooed before and are currently pregnant, you should go out and get more because you know how you react. Just because you don’t feel anything, doesn’t mean you don’t have a slight infection that clears up on it’s own without you even noticing it’s there. That “harmless” infection may not hurt you but it can seriously harm your baby.

Honestly, it’s smarter to just wait. I miss being pierced and tattooed but I would never risk my babies health like that.

Answer #2

who will ever know this to be a fact.tchnically its external not internal so theres nothing that baby will feel..2nd make sure the tattoo artist doesnt use mercury in the ink THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR ANY HUMAN RECEIVNG A TATTOO

Answer #3

no I’ve never heard of the baby feeling the pain and I highly doubt it will seeing as though the tattoo is on the skin not in her womb and the needle doesnt stab in as far as her womb either but it can be dangerouse to get a tattoo while pregnant because the ink can be absorbed into the bloodstream which will go to the baby though so far it hasnt been proved if its not safe to get it done but it aslo hasnt been proved safe either and its really not worth the risk anyway

Answer #4

lol. um I doubt they can feel the pain. but I know ink in the tattoo can affect the baby in a negative way. a piercing on the other hand I doubt it.

Answer #5

No. It’s all made up don’t warry about it

Answer #6

Don’t risk the baby’s Health with any chemical on or in the body - safest to wait…Take care !!
