What will pregnancy do to a belly or side tattoo?

Does anyone have before and after photos? That's what I'm really looking for.

With most people it stretches the tattoo as your stomach grows. Sometimes it doesn't, at least with my sister in law hers was fine after she had the baby. But, mostly the skin stretches and depending on the design it can ruin it.

Nothing as long as you get back to your normal size. If you don't get back, you will look raggedy. Not because of the tattoo, but because you are fat.

i have a pretty big tat around my bellybutton. i have had it since i was 16. 27 and two kids later it is still my husbands favorite spot. don't use those creams while you are pregnant they will allow it to stretch easier. but use them after and i know this sounds gross but mix your cream with hemmoroid cream and it helps to tighten the skin faster good luck and 'innocence' is a blitch

Depending on where they are and how much you gain during pregnancy , They can stay pretty normal or stretch out of shape.The ones most likely to stretch out of shape are the one on you stomach. Use a lot of coco butter to keep your skin elastic to help prevent this and stretch marks.

I recommend women not get tattoos on their side, abdomen, or upper thighs before childbearing.Think aluminum foil - all nice and flat and shiny. Draw a design on it, crinkle it into a ball, and spread it back out.That is what happens to most tattoos - without stretch marks.It stretches just because of the size of your belly, besides any excess weight gain. Doesn't matter how fast you lose the weight after, either - the damage is done.You could be one of the lucky few that it doesn't happen to, but it's your choice.
