Tattoos

I know it's a silly thing to worry about really cos in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter to me at all, but has anyone else got experience of belly tattoos and pregnancy?? Ooh and while I remember, belly button piercings - do I need to take it out or will it be ok? TIA x

I have a tattoo on my hip/waste and nothing seemed to happen to it. My belly button stretched out flat so I ended up taking the ring out as it was looking a bit weird. Since giving birth I put it back in but the hole seems a bit shallower now. I know you can get plastic stretchy rings which can be worn the while way through but I never bothered x

You can get a PTFE bar - thats medical grade plastic and is flexible so will move with your growing bump

My hip tattoo is fine and i took my belly bar out at about 10 weeks and its still open so i can put it back in if i want after i've had bubs x

Hey, Try a flexi ptfe bar in your piercing as it allows it to move and bend with your growing shape. As for tattoos, I have a fairly big crown right at the side of my belly button and last time it was huuuuuge whilst I had my bump and afterwards, apart from a few stretch marks around and one through it, it was fine. It seems to be doing pretty much the same this time.
Hope that helps

if your a skinny thing keep rubbing oil into your skin my friends daughter was a size 8/10 and her skin stretched so badly it may distort a tatt but if your skin gives nicely and doesnt get bad stretchmarks you should be fine

Not sure if this is how I post a pic, but this is it...I'm hoping that because it's mainly on the side it might be ok lol...
Scuse the underwear, my mum's a photographer and it was for a project of hers
