You going to be fine. What you need to do more than anything else is take care of your body. The tattoo, make sure it's always clean, and avoid an infection. The ink does not penetrate the skin deep enough to enter the blood stream, so the ink will not affect the baby. The reason artists don't tattoo pregnant women is because of infection and the very slight risk of disease. The chances of you contracting a disease due to a tattoo are slim to none. If you went to a shop an didn't get it done by a friend at their house, you're fine. Shops have very strict cleanliness guidelines, so your concern right now is keeping it lean and avoiding an infection. Infections can affect the baby, but, you should be safe since you got it Friday and have had no negative effects. Just keep it clean and take care of your body and you and your baby will be safe and sound. Congrats!!!!

• This early in a pregnancy, it won't cause any problems. The only reason that they tell you not to get tattooed while pregnant is just to be safe that it doesn't make your immune system weaker while trying to heal the tattoo, but if it is small, and you are not far along there is nothing to worry about! Just be sure to take care of yourself :)
  
  
  
  
  Tiffani, I'm not so sure I'd want any advice about my baby from someone who can't spell her own profession, or "congratulate".
• Being a nurse that works with a yncologist I can say with complete confidence that the tattoo will hae no effect what so ever on your child. Furhtermore I'd like to congragulate you on ur pregnanncy.

• only if it gets infected and causes blood poisoning .so keep it clean and if it goes septic go to the doctors straight away a good antiseptic is tee tree oil
• Congratulations, and no. But at least soon you will have something to compare the pain of tattooing to.
• You should be ok but make sure to tell the tattooist that you are pregnant.
