Can you get a tattoo during pregnancy?
Technically, it is not possible. But you can be pregnant and tattooed – even if it is not advisable. And rest assured, the ink introduced by your tattoo artist's dermograph will not come to color your baby, and we can say with certainty that if the Smurfs are blue, it is not related to a tattoo that would have made mum Smurfette during her pregnancy. But, it is best to wait until the end of your pregnancy to get a tattoo.
Why ? Because "the fetus feels the pain of moms", and it is also for this very reason that a pregnant woman is advised to avoid consultations with the dentist during their pregnancy, for example! So we let you imagine that a passage under the needles will generate a state of stress incompatible with your pregnancy that requires calm. So even if you are a warrior already well tattooed and that you think to be above this, bear in mind that the stress is sometimes badly perceived, but that your body feels it all the same.
Finally, during your pregnancy your immune defenses are weakened and therefore the risks of infection increase. Obviously we anticipate, I did it and I did not give birth to a hobbit! " For all the reasons mentioned above, we can not recommend too much that you do not take risks with the health of your future baby.
Childbirth: the tattoo and the epidural?
In some cases, anesthetists refuse to perform an epidural on a tattoo. If you wish to perform a tattoo in the lower back, we recommend that you consult your doctor before taking action ! And if you already have one and you are pregnant, tell your anesthesiologist to make sure that he can perform an epidural if it is necessary or desired.
So wait for future mothers, you will have plenty of time to get tattooed after your delivery!
