No tats here, sorry!!!!! ;-) Not YET, anyway!!!

Little Bird · 05-02-2007, 07:54 AM

I still haven't decided what I'd like but I figure I'll get one someday. Just not sure when. Obviously not now. Can you get tat's when you're pregnant?

ItBeThatWay27 · 05-02-2007, 01:53 PM

I wouldnt recommend it. It's tough enough doing it when you aren't pregnant.. I mean my first time I almost passed out from lack of sugar in my body...

No problem, I still haven't had time to take any pics anyway. Too many kid things this week. My oldest is turning 16. But I will work on it soon, so stay posted.

It's not recommended, but I got the one on my hand before I found out I was pregnant and nothing happened so...I guess as long as it isnt big its not that big of a deal.

I guess you can, but you're potentially risking getting Hepatitis, HIV, and other diseases that can be transmitted by using a dirty needle. Here in the U.S. tattoo needles aren't regulated by the FDA (federal drug administration), YET anyway. They can use the same dirty needles over and over if they want. It's scary. But truth be told, many if not most tattoo parlors now will use a disposable type of needle tip to help prevent that, and they autoclave the equipment (a type of oven that gets really hot to help kill viruses/bacteria). But there still is that potential risk. Someone only needs to forget to autoclave it once, and someone could get a disease. It's the same principle as drug users sharing needles...

You cannot donate blood products in the U.S. for a year (that's what it used to be anyway) after you've gotten a tattoo. The reason being in that amount of time your body can convert to being positive for the aforementioned diseases. If you donate blood in that year after getting a tat and you caught one of these diseases, someone else may also get HIV/Hepatitis from it. Tattoos are considered a risk factor. The tattoo question comes up when they interview a person prior to donation. If you say 'yes' to the question, you are prohibited from donating blood. They will actually "black flag" you in their database from donating until 1 year has elapsed!

So, Kiera, I would NOT recommend it until after the little one has come into this world. Also keep in mind that if you're thinking of giving Baby #1 a sibling, I'd wait a year after getting a tattoo to try to get pregnant again. And get tested in between that time to make sure. Ask your Doctor about this before you do anything, of course.

This whole thing is the reason I think I've not gotten a tattoo yet. I want one, but when I think of the potential things that can happen I decide not to.

Sorry if I freaked anyone out that has tats......I can't help it, I work in the medical field!!!!

Because I knew that we were going to get pregnant soon and because I had a blood transfusion as a child (when these diseases were never heard of and weren't screened for) I got Hepatitis and HIV testing done before getting pregnant. I obviously came back all clear but I think that it is something every woman should do if planning a child if they've ever had a tattoo or received a transfusion, regardless of when!

Good that you pointed that out. I, of course, won't be getting one any time soon. I'd rather not put myself in potential harms way so I'm abstaining for now but I would like a small tattoo someday.

Eibhlin · 05-03-2007, 02:32 PM

well, as long as you go to a reputable place you should be fine, any place I have gone to around here is very clean, they sanitize their equipment and use new needles every time

but there is a risk in everything!

Little Bird · 05-03-2007, 04:29 PM

Hey did anyone hear about David Beckam's latest tattoo? Apparently, It covers the entirety of one of his arms and has something to with Prisonbreak (the TV show). I just think that's weird. It's one thing to be an average Joe, crazed fan and get a tattoo for their favourite TV show but when you're as famous as David Beckham, it just seems weird.

Here's the tattoo. I don't like it.

Turns out, it resembles Wentworth Miller’s tattoo on the show.

Yes, exactly. I always go to the same place cause they are known for their cleanliness.. and their talent.

I don't like tattoo's covering up an entirety of someone's body part, I think small ones are just fine. I can't believe David Beckham would do something like that. Posh is all classy and would probably chew him up and down. As for Wentworth Miller.....yummers!

ItBeThatWay27 · 05-04-2007, 04:44 AM

I think sleeves look good on some people but I definately don't want sleeves. I don't like David Beckham's sleeves..

Posh = Classy??? Oh dear, you don't know her at all then. The 2 of them are refered to as publicity whores. Not very nice but strangely accurate. She may have tonnes of money and pretend to ooze class but she really doesn't, IMO!

Anyway, sleeves you say, Gary. Didn't know that's what they were called. Thanks for that.

last_dance_rodeo · 05-04-2007, 12:11 PM

Oh so she isn't classy eh? She always looks good in pics I see her in. Hmm strange.

ItBeThatWay27 · 05-05-2007, 01:27 PM

yep they are called sleeves
