Why is it not advisable to get a tattoo during pregnancy?

At Inkpulso, our tattoo studio in Valencia, we care about the health and well-being of our clients, and that ‘s why we want to talk about an important topic: tattooing during pregnancy. While we know that many people desire a fine line design or minimalist tattoo during this stage, it is critical to understand the risks and precautions associated with doing so.

Tattoo and pregnancy risks

During pregnancy, a woman’s body goes through numerous hormonal and physical changes that can affect both the skin and the immune system. These changes increase the possibility of complications when getting a tattoo, even if it is a simple design such as a fine line. Fine lines, which require special precision, can be distorted if the skin changes shape due to stretching of the abdomen or other factors typical of pregnancy.

In addition, the immune system is more vulnerable, which increases the risk of infections, allergic reactions and scarring that could affect the health of mother and baby.

Hygiene and safety at Inkpulso

Although at Inkpulso we follow strict hygiene standards and use sterile materials, the risk of infection or complications during pregnancy still exists. Therefore, we recommend that expectant mothers postpone their tattooing until after pregnancy, when their body is back to normal and the risks are lower.

Safe alternatives

If you are hesitant about getting a tattoo while pregnant, we suggest you wait. Instead of getting a tattoo during pregnancy, you can plan the design and book your appointment for after delivery. A fine line tattoo at Inkpulso will allow you to get the design you want at the right time, without any risk to your health or your baby’s health.
In short, while we at Inkpulso are always ready to help you find the perfect tattoo, health should always come first. We advise you to wait until after pregnancy to enjoy a safe and well done tattoo.
