Can We do a Tattoo in Pregnancy? It is Good or Bad???

Maybe you’ve thought of remembering this special time in your life by getting a tattoo, or maybe you have concerns about existing tattoos during pregnancy. Mostly, you just want everything to be safe for you and your baby. This information will be helpful for you as you take care of the tattoos you already have and decide whether or not to get a tattoo during pregnancy.

 


Getting Inked While Pregnant

If you want to get a tattoo while pregnant, do your research and find a reputable shop before booking an appointment. Many artists won’t tattoo on pregnant women, so be sure to inform the shop and your artist ahead of time to avoid any last-minute issues. 

Here are some things to keep in mind or ask to ensure that you are getting tattooed safely:



  • Consult Your Doctor.

 You should also consult your doctor about this decision. They know more about your pregnancy and if there are any risks, they will know the best. So it is always good to have a professional’s advice. Maybe they can also advise you of some more precautions that are altered to your situation. And this way you will be more sure and safe.

 


  • Choose the right Place for Tattoo

When you are pregnant, your body is constantly growing and changing to accommodate the baby inside.  Depending on where you get a tattoo, your ink might not look the same after you’ve given birth and your body has healed. 

 


  • Hygiene check

In order to avoid any possible infections, make sure that the tattoo studio you go to follows the best hygiene protocol. Keep a check on their tattooing procedure. Make sure your tattoo artist is using new gloves or changing their gloves whenever required.  When using any needles, ensure that they are brand new, opened in front of you. And if they are using razors, check that each of these is individually packed. (The Tattoo Castle take care of all the hygiene protocols).

 


  • Tell your Artist about the Pregnancy

Ask your artist if their ink contains any heavy metals. If it does, it’s best to wait it out until you give birth. Ask your artist what sterilization procedures they use and how often they’re done. Sterilization machines, called autoclaves, should be used in any tattoo parlour. Sterilized bags containing needles should be opened in front of clients.

 


  • Take Proper Care

Take proper care of your tattoo afterwards, and keep it clean to avoid infection and complications. Contact a doctor if you see any signs of a rash or infection.

 


  • Choose a Reputable Tattoo Studio 

There might be some studios that might not care as much for the safety of their clients. So just make sure to find a studio that is reputable and that will make sure to maintain the best possible hygiene, we at The Tattoo Castle follow the medical-grade hygiene protocol.
