Tattoos & TTC

So I have been wanting a tattoo forever now and well is it a good idea while we are TTC? This will be my first one (if I go through with it) and I must say I am a little scared of what the pain might be. Anyone else get a tattoo while TTC?

    If you're not currently pregnant, I'd say go for it. Personally, I think I'd do it soon after my period started so that on the off-chance that you did end up with a skin infection, you wouldn't have to worry about what medications you could take to treat it.

    Obviously, go to a reputable tattoo parlor that uses an autoclave to sterilize their equipment.

    And trust me... the pain of a tattoo is nothing in comparison with the pain of labor.

    I have 4 tattoos, 2 of which are on my feet (a fairly painful area). Just go to a reputable place, and you'll be fine. Make sure you know what you want.

    I agree...I have one, also on my foot. As long as you are not pregnant and you know exactly what you want...go for it!

    Go for it while ttc. Once you get pg, you can't get one.

    Me too. I have one on top of my foot and up the side of my leg. And a tramp stamp. I didnt get them while TTC but as long as you go somewhere reputable and you know you are not KU then go for it. I also agree with the fact that you should know what you want and make sure to look at your artist's previous work if possible.
