Can you get a tattoo while pregnant?
There are lots of reasons for deciding to get a tattoo, including to celebrate a special event in your life, in commemoration, a tattoo following a miscarriage, or during pregnancy it could be a way to reclaim your body.
But should you get a tattoo when pregnant, or wait until after your little one arrives?
In reality, there is no urgency to get a tattoo and so to be safe, waiting is probably the best idea. However, if you can't wait for nine months, or if you have a pre-existing appointment for a tattoo and just found out you are pregnant and now can't decide whether to cancel, is there any risk in going ahead and getting a tattoo when pregnant?
When it comes to tattooing and pregnancy, it is a bit of a grey area.
Doctors generally advise against it, but there is no definitive research to confirm any negative effects of a tattoo when pregnant. However just like giving up smoking, or alcohol, when pregnant, waiting to get a tattoo ensures you are not taking any unnecessary risks.
