My fiance and i are getting married this summer, and plan on having kids together sometime. I am a pretty small naturally, work to keep my body in shape by eating healthy foods (vegetarian) and excercising, but i know that once pregnancy hits, i might not be so lucky!
I already have two tatoos, both are in areas that will not stretch when pregnant. I am getting a tattoo next month, already have the design planned out, but just wanted to get some feedback from women who have had tattoos BEFORE pregnancy.
The tattoo is going to be on my hip, not where most females get them on the hip bone, but fairly low, where the leg meets the hip, next to the pubic region.
so my question is, how many women have gotten a tattoo in this location, and how far down did your stretch marks appear during pregnancy?
any helpful, mature, comments and advice from personal experiences would be appreciated!
thank you in advance!!
i haven't been pregnant or have a tattoo there but my cousin has and does and it completely ruined her tattoo and Huge deep stretch mark went right thought it. but my sister-n-law has the same thing and she didn't even get one stretch mark the whole time she was pregnant. i think it depends on your body so I'd so you got a 50/50 chance of it messing up your tattoo.
haha you sound just like me! Unfortunately i dont have an actual answer for you but im also engaged, and i have a small tattoo there. I didnt even think to ask until the woman was already giving it to me and i said "will this totally screw up when i get pregnant?" She said that it will stretch, but then go back to normal size and it should look pretty close to the same unless i happen to get like a big stretch mark running right through it.
I have a small tattoo in a similar location to where you want yours and I am 35-almost 36 weeks pregnant. I have had no stretch marks in that area at all, just a few little ones around my belly button.
I think you will be fine, but when you do get pregnant I recommend Earth Mama Angel Baby stretch oil: http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/stretc...
It's a little pricey, but it lasts throughout the pregnancy.

YOU'LL BE FINE. AFTER YOU HAVE THE FIRST BABY EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH GOES BACK TO NORMAL. GO FOR IT!
i think that's a safe spot, some stretch marks might occur on the front, top section of your leg...like right under your hip to the outside of where you're getting your tattoo.
your tattoo will stretch back down to normal after you give birth. and get back to your normal body weight
