Tattoo while pregnant

You should be okay if you take care of your tattoos while they heal. The reason you shouldn't get tattoos while pregnant is because the risk of infection. Your immune system is compromised while you are pregnant so the risk is higher. However if you take proper care and the tattoo parlor was a reputable shop then you will be okay! I'm no expert though, maybe call your obgyn 🙂

I got a tattoo too then took a test and found out I’m pregnant. You should be fine.

The worry is infections like hepatitis or HIV from dirty needles, as long as it was a good place and they used new needles you’ll be fine. You get tested as part of your first visit anyway and later in pregnancy, but mention it to your OB and they might add in an extra test after 3 months. It can take 3 months for the tests to become positive.
But like I said the risk is very low these days!

From what I’ve researched, babies are pretty resilient in the first 8 weeks. As long as you don’t get an infection you should be just fine. You would’ve lost the baby already if the strain was too much so really now you’re just keeping an eye out for infection
