as a physician we do not always know how tatoos affect patients. however i am conservative when it comes to issues that may affect patients without all the information. having said that i would not do it. i just don't think it is that important to potentially risk pregnancy loss. . there is a risk of infection which although most often is local could become more extensive in the blood stream which could affect the pregnancy. just don't do it.
is it safe for a woman to get a tattoo while pregnant?
