My friend got a small tattoo last week. It probably took less then 20 mins at the most!! And she’s…

I guess because she can contract an infection that can risk the baby

@tiffanyf, she gets tattoos be the same guy in the same shop I spend usually all my afternoons with. 25-30 tattoos later she has never got an infection. Even when it’s tiny there’s always aftercare and that why people get infections .. because thy don’t follow rules or go to the wrong person. She shouldn’t be getting all the hate comment period. She is a great person and will be a great mom.

Getting tattoos while pregnant is illegal. No reputable tattoo shop with a brain would tattoo a pregnant woman.

I’m surprised that a “professional” tattooer even tattooed her

@xomarylee, I’m sure she will be, not judging lol but I’m just saying there’s always that SLIGHT chance

FB is right. She could have easily waited til after birth. What's the big rush?

Uhhh

I hope the shop that tattooed her gets shut down🤷🏻

This is possibly the most uneducated post I’ve read 🤦🏼‍♀️

They should be shamming the tattoo shop that tattooed a pregnant women. Just saying

I’m shocked that the tattoo “artist” gave her a tattoo. Using the quotes because clearly he’s not a professional. Any reputable artist knows not to tattoo a woman who is pregnant.

I wanted my tattoo while pregnant with Athena but I waited until I had her. I was four months pp. Not only will tattoo shops deny doing it while you're pregnant but you're at a much higher risk of getting an infection and hurting the baby. I don't believe for a second that your friend couldn't wait a few months before getting ink done. It was irresponsible af

I would NEVER trust a tattoo shop willing to tattoo a pregnant woman

Good thing she’s dumb enough to post that online hopefully someone reports this “shop”

I got a tattoo while pregnant with my second, didn’t know at the time but I don’t see the huge deal as long as your going to a reputable artist the chances of infection are slim to none, IMO less dangerous then eating a cold cut sandwich.

@mimixtmn, you know something is a “big deal” when it’s illegal

What in the actual fuck did I just read? 🤦‍♀️

It was proli a jail house tattoo done in a garage.

@__m, I've worked at a few tattoo shops and some people don't know the dos and donts, but the artist should and should have never worked on her and explained why.

@damn.it.red, exactly no professional is gonna risk his license over a tattoo

@mimixtmn A reputable artist wouldn't do it, ya know, cause it's ILLEGAL.

Hell one of my shops won't even do it till 6 months post partum.

To mostly everyone commenting he is one of best tattoo artist in Cleveland and Columbus he won’t put her in any harm. If it was that much of a big deal he would had done it !! I’ve knows him since I was born really. 2 great shops and amazing staff. The point of the status was SHE IS GETTING HATE COMMENTS AND THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HOW THEY SPEAK TO HER!! So disrespectful!! They are even telling her not to have her kid if she’s going to have a quarter size tattoo done under her knee!!!! And telling her she is a bad mom that needs to get her kids taken!! If this is such a big deal all you mom that get your nails done and hair color while pregnant should get shamed also with all those nasty bad chemicals that are going through your bodies while your parents. The chances are so small when it’s a tiny tattoo and great after care and anyone that has got tattoos should know to follow rules and go to the right place!

A tattoo being “nowhere near your belly” has absolutely nothing to do with it. The ink from a tattoo is treated as an infection. Your body goes into hyper mode trying to fight it off. When you’re pregnant, your body is ALREADY in hyper drive you know, trying to grow an eyeball. Plus, if it does happen to get infected, it will go into the bloodstream, thus affecting your baby. It doesn’t matter how small it is. A respectable tattoo artist would never risk his license to put fresh ink on a pregnant lady. Hell, my artist didn’t even want to microblade my eyebrows until I was done breastfeeding. Educate yourself. Educate your friend. And next time, do it before you make a post trying to get an app full of pregnant ladies and moms to agree with you.

Hair dye doesn't have any chance of infecting a mother or baby soooooooooo you're wrong again.

@xomarylee, you can’t possibly compare getting your nails done and dying your hair to getting a tattoo come on now

@xomarylee, illegal means illegal. No one is saying his work is terrible. Getting a tattoo knowingly being pregnant is selfish. I am pro tattoo because I myself have many, but I would never risk my child’s life because I couldn’t wait. Whether it be a dot or a 4 hour piece. It’s still illegal at the end of the day and hopefully he loses his license.

@xomarylee

Tattoo> hair and nails

Infection> no infection

Illegal> not illegal

Point invalid. He should be shut down. There's always a risk.

Each day I get on this app my faith in humanity dies a little bit more.

His been doing it for years!! Cops come in a out and nothing happens if it was a big deal things would of gone wrong before. The mom got it done it healed perfectly!! And should should be disrespected. Thanks for shaming her some more. She knows what she’s doing and she’ll be a great mom regardless of the situation. Keep your hate comments and bs ways to your self the status was never about how risky is was the status was about her being stressed out because people keep telling her she should get her child taken from her and a bush of other stuff!!! NO MOM SHOULD GET TO HEAR THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE IS GREAT AT IT ALREADY. Keep commenting I’m clearly done 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hair dye and the faint smell of Acetone and nail polish are 100% different than a hundred tiny needles drilling ink into your skin. I have tons of tattoos but the thought never even crossed my mind to get more until I gave birth. It’s just common sense. If there is even the slightest chance of harming your child, why the fuck would you want to risk it anyway? It’s just selfish.

@xomarylee, nobody said she was a bad mom. She made a bad choice

@xomarylee, If he is great, why do cops go in and out of his shop....? 🤨🤔

My shop never has cops there. You know, because they follow the law.

@xomarylee, No one is saying she should have her child taken. Just that it was a poor and selfish decision. 🤷🏼‍♀️ He’s no tattoo artist if he makes uneducated decisions such as those. Tattoos put stress on your body regardless if it’s small or large. Clearly you refuse to listen to fact and reason though.

@thatbeachyblonde, we have local we love to chat with. There is a coffee shop in front an they rather hang with us than over there. Plus some cops and great family friends

Illegal is illegal is illegal 😒😒😒

You guys are saying a bunch of shit as if she is the worse person for not waiting and on Facebook they are shaming her telling her more stuff.. not saying anyone here side anything worse or I would of tagged names

@xomarylee Here's An Idea? Do your fucking research babe! None of this, I mean none of what you have said is factual, it's all bullshit! What we are saying is factual! So just stop while your ahead.

If the general consensus about her getting this tattoo has been the same on here & Facebook, maybe it’s time to consider that there is some legitimacy to people feeling like that was wrong.

So he like, makes a habit of tattooing pregnant women in front of cops? My bullshit detector is beeping off the hook!

@xomarylee, If they’re being rude to her via Facebook she has the right to remove the comments from her page. When you make a decision like that, people aren’t always going to react positively. There’s not enough research and studies done to safely say that getting tattooed while pregnant won’t harm the baby. If there was, it would be a different story. Anytime it is a controversial topic, backlash is to be expected.

@veemitchell yessssssss! There is no fucking way!

Btw i just looked at some of your baby’s pics she so cute 😍 lol

What the actual f*ck did I just read. 😣

@basicwitch. There's always a story like that when a post doesn't go how they want it. "Well my ob is friends with the guy who invented Castor oil and he said it's ok" or "I happened to talk to Judge Judy, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Jesus Christ himself before making this post and they ALL said it's fine to spank with an object"

@veemitchell 😂💀! Yep, you couldn't have said it better!

Good read while pooping, thanks all.

My boyfriend is a professional tattoo artist, it is illegal and can do a lot of damage to an unborn child if an infection were to occur and it doesn't matter how many tattoos she had gotten safely, there's still a chance, especially with her immune system being not as strong during pregnancy.

@xomarylee All though I find your friend's lack of patients, incredibly irritating. I must admit that I went to search it and I did not find anything about it being illegal nor. I did find all the risks and how doctors advise against it. I am very cautious with my pregnancy and children and would not risk anything no matter how good and clean the tattoo artist is. Hormones in pregnancy can do a lot to your body. Just giving my opinion.

However, I will look into its legal issues after I am done getting dressed.

I can't find a state law saying that tattooing a pregnant woman is illegal. Anyone care to offer a source ?

I thought tattoo shops dont tattoo pregnant women. At least thats what an artist told me . due to the risk of infections etc. I wouldn't bash her but personally I think she should had waited until after. I always wait until after as a treat to myself . including getting any piercings.

My tattoo shop is my source. I think they'd know the laws regarding their profession.

Got out the shower with a lot more “it’s illegal” to read 😂😂 never did I said I wasn’t because in some places it is illegal and some it’s not. So thanks because I didn’t just read 200 comments saying it’s illegal and probably have many more like if I were deaf or didn’t know how to read. All I have to say it idc what the back story is don’t go around telling people they should kill there self, or might as well have an abortion if they get a tiny tattoo” (it’s on her fb) no one what to hear they should get their kids taken away Poor decision or not!!! I know there is always a risk I didn’t deny that all any point. And no the tattoo artist doesn’t go around tattooing pregnant people infront of cops like if was his favorite hobby. No his shop should get shut down.. some of use probably love the guy and don’t even know it 😂 I’m done for the day. Keep my newsfeed popping with the it’s illegal like if people didn’t do illegal shit all the time .... do some of you drink and drive no matter how small the drinks was?? Or not put your seatbelt on?? Of your kids seatbelts?? Or let your little on sit with you in the front of the car?? Or clean you dogs shit in the park?? Or leave your kid in the while even if knows and “is of age”?? Do some of you guys smoke weed?? Go ahead bash away isn’t that what some of you guys come here do to everyday?? Have a nice day 😌😌

Point is a tattoo puts the body in some kind of shock so she should have waited no matter where it is on the body she felt it her unborn child did to he needs to educate himself and so does your friend plain and simple both were wrong

@xomarylee I actually do not do anything illegal because I'm legit scared of risking my children. I don't even litter. I also am in a legal field so no, I do not do anything illegal.

@xomarylee to answer your questions... I don't drink, we're always properly seat belted, kids always in the back seat, I don't take my dog to the park, never leave my kids in the car or house alone, and don't smoke weed. Idc about the quality of his tattoos if he's doing that reckless bullshit. I also don't believe people are telling her to kill herself or abort, otherwise you'd have lead with that instead if bringing it up when shit doesn't go your way. Adiós.

@xomarylee I mean 75% of those have the chance of resulting in death so no. I don't own a dog but when I had yes I cleaned up after him because it's the right thing to do. Smoking is only legal with a medical card here so no, because it's illegal. And leave kids where? That makes no sense.

Eta: and all that no seatbelt shit is illegal here too. Have to be 12 to sit up front.

Well they say it can cause infection and that's putting your baby at risk .or the fact that your basically injected with ink. And that gets into your body and then into your baby.

@xomarylee, I don’t drink to begin with, so I don’t drink and drive. It’s illegal also. My daughter is extended rearfacing at the moment for her safety in a motor vehicle. We don’t take our dog to the park, our yard is plenty big for her to get exercise. Never left my daughter with someone who wasn’t my mother or MIL. Never smoked weed a day in my life. My 2 year old would never sit with me in the front seat while the vehicle is in motion. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Some of you are in my chat with some smart as mouth 😂😂 you can talk all the stupid shit on here I not paying your guys no attention on chat.

@xomarylee I don't care if it's illegal or not I posted facts facts she and he should know period! ✌

And for my questions I didn’t need answers 😂 I know plenty of people do some illegal stuff like that without even thinking about. Sometimes daily and that was my point. Great to hear some people don’t 👏👏👏

Uhhhh, this is a Status? And it's not stupid, it's facts.

I can barely understand you.

@thatbeachyblonde I have never smoke weed either. There's only a few of us left. 😂

@taylorsmommy1017 I got the gist (jist?) of it through comments lol but thank you (: its the rest of the comments I'm like "whaaaat?" 😂

@x_storm, I don’t care if people want to, that’s their decision. But I don’t assume everyone has smoked it, because I know there’s people who haven’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@thatbeachyblonde oh I'm not saying that everyones done it but I swear everyone around me has done it at least once and I feel like the oddball when they talk about their experiences.

You contradict yourself so hard 🤦🏻‍♀️ In your post up there ☝🏼, you state in all caps that “PEOPLE GETTING A TATTOO DOESN’T AFFECT YOUR BABY AT ALL!!”... but then, down here in comment land, you just said “I know there is always a risk I didn’t deny that”... but like, you did tho 🤨

Are you the “friend” ?? Because you seem pretty upset about something that doesn’t even affect you. Pregnant women shouldn’t get tattooed. Pretty simple.

@xomarylee what I don't understand is why you're so defensive 🤷🏼‍♀️ nobody is saying shes a bad person.. irresponsible yes but nobody is being rude. 99%of the peope commenting are sayin tattoo artists with their morals in check wouldnt tattoo a pregnant woman. Getting ink isnt worth risking the life of your baby. When i found out i was pregnant again it was october. They gave away 10 dollar quarter size tattoos at my friends tattoo shop. He did my tats and offered to do one for me. I could have very well gone and not told him. But I cared more about my child than about my wants and needs. Thats what being a mom is.

@vvrobinson we have 20$ Friday the 13th events and it sucked but,as you've said lol, a healthy baby was more important.

In rage a posted a status and didn’t think about it in 20 different ways for different people to read 😂 but i guess some think I’m lying and some think I’m saying they are wrong.. never did i. @taylorsmommy1017, don’t play the age game because many teens are smarter that some of you guys on here. I don’t play that age shit and you shouldn’t talk down on people who are less or age than you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@xomarylee with age usually comes wisdom not always but sorry to be harsh your friend made a bad choice and that's the truth

@ironbutterfly, completely understand most think the same. I just wanted to how awful people are with the choice of comments they make. It can really affect a person in many ways. And yes usually the older you get the more you learn but sometimes it makes people ignorant and playing the blame game on younger people isn’t the way to go.

@xomarylee yes but most of these comments i agree with what she did was wrong and he should not have tattooed her. I don't think anyone on here is saying she's a bad person or mom she mad a poor choice

Not condoning to choice to get tattooed while pregnant but I doubt CPS would get involved and “take her baby away”.

I got my tattoo while pregnant had no idea I was even pregnant at the time no symptoms I was on depo shot so I didn’t think anything of it that I was pregnant I don’t have sickness and I don’t have a period with depo so I was clueless. If I knew I was pregnant I wouldn’t of got the tattoo. I don’t think you should get tattoos while pregnant. Yes I got my tattoo but I HAD NO IDEA I WAS PREGNANT . I took a test like 3 weeks after my tat and it was positive I felt horrible.

@sonya0606, glad you and baby are okay. If you didn’t know that’s WAY different
