Are you pregnant and you are planning to have a tattoo? Maybe you are motivated by the fact that there are now so many women who have a tattoo and in fact, it is said that there are more women compared to men who have a tattoo on their body. 

Yes, tattooing is now becoming more popular and is quite safe even for pregnant women. But then again, I think it is best to not have a tattoo while being pregnant or if you really want, you just have to make sure that you are in a safe tattoo parlor like in any of the Tattoo parlours you can find in KL. 

In case you want to still have a tattoo despite the fact that you are pregnant, it is best to read below some of the things you need to know first:

• Yes, there is a type of tattooing that is safe for pregnant women. But the again, do you really have to do this while you are not in your normal condition? Admit it, your body is now in a vulnerable stage as it is supporting the baby that is inside your womb. You should also support your condition and make sure your body will not get into any form of situation where you can possibly get infected of something. This is why it is not best to have the tattoo right now. 
• Do you already have a tattoo before your pregnancy? If that is the case, you should know that there are possibilities the tattoos will be discolored especially if they happen to be on your breasts or abdomen. But then again, if they are just on your legs or arms, you might not notice any dramatic changes on their colors. 
• If you really have tattoos on your body before the pregnancy, it is best that you keep in touch with the tattoo artist to get some advices on what you should do. But for the meantime, you can moisturize your skin regularly so that its elasticity will improve. This should help in preserving the color of your tattoo as there is a good chance it will discolored after the pregnancy. 
• Yes, there is a tattoo ingredient that might be safe for pregnant women like the all-natural henna. However, even with such ingredient, you should still first consult the doctor just to ensure that you will be safe. 

You see, when you are pregnant, you have a very vulnerable life inside your body you need to protect. This should be your first concern and if having a tattoo will somehow pose a risk on your baby, might as well wait until such time when the baby is not inside your body anymore. 

Yes, you are so excited to have the tattoo. Maybe there is even a connection of the tattoo design on your pregnancy and that is why you want to have it right away. But then again, you should be considerate of the baby at all times as after all, you can always have the tattoo after the pregnancy.
