You can but you shouldn't an a lot of tattoo artists won't give you one. This is because the huge amount of adrenaline your body produces can cause miscarriage you are also very prone to get a blood infection no matter how clean your tattoo parlour is. Getting a tattoo at any time runs the risk of you contracting diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis. Contracting these, especially while pregnant, can lead to your unborn child contracting them as well. During pregnancy your skin stretches and you tend to bloat, which can change the way the tattoo will look after pregnancy. Your hormones may cause the colors not to take well so you end up unhappy with the resulting color.

== == Modern tattooing is super safe, but there is no reason to do anything that would present even 0.0000001% chance of blood born pathogen/infections. Wait until the baby is born. Although, not all shops ARE safe.

It is Illegal in most places due to the moral issues and debate that your child can feel your pain. Babies can become stressed and agitated when their mother becomes stressed or hurt. Some doctors say that any injury to the mother can be traumatic to the baby.

Find out if it is legal in your area, then decide if you'd like to take the chances.

you do not want to get a tattoo or piercing while pregnant. any professional will turn you away. there are a few reasons, but the main reason is that your body is focusing on a big thing: developing that fetus. anything that will hinder that wants to be avoided. you do not want to put your body under any unnecessary stress. even though it is actually kind of hard to get a new tattoo/piercing infected (as long as it is done by a clean professional), you still want to avoid the risk of having an infection while pregnant. not to mention your hormones and body chemistry are different while pregnant, you may have a greater reaction to the inks that are used, or end up healing not so well. bottom line, you and the fetus are more likely than not to end up fine if you were to receive a tattoo or piercing while pregnant, but you dont wanna risk anything. wait 9 months. its worth it.

Tattoo artists can work while pregnant. It may become more difficult as she gets closer to term, but there is nothing about the job, if done properly, that would reasonable prohibit a tattoo artist from working.

What happens to my brestmilk if get tattoo?

Tattoos do not effect the breast milk as the ink doesnt travel through the bloodstream, however i would not risk getting a tattoo while you are breastfeeding as other aspects of the tattoo could potentially harm a baby such as infections which can be picked up from a new tattoo which can travel through the bloodstream and be passed into the milk. Therefore i would wait until you have finished breastfeeding before getting a Tattoo.

When getting a tattoo on your foot is it normal for the tattoo artist to blow on your foot?

I would have to say no that is not normal. I have a large tattoo of a gecko on my foot and the tattoo artist did not blow on my foot while I was getting it done. In fact a lot of tattoo artists won't tattoo feet at all because the ink doesn't hold up very well because of the thin skin on your foot and the constant agitation from shoes and socks.
