tatted moms help me out

Okay so i was just on facebook and someone said that if you get a tattoo on your stomach if you get pregnant it will smurf the tattoo up, any truth to this? It would make sense but it would also make sense that the tattoo would go back to to normal size after having the baby just like your stomach does (give or take some baby fat)

Mine didn't get messed up but it's on my hip stomach area.

However people get stretch marks in them and if they stretch to bad the ink fades and such.

depends... some people it doesn't and some people completely smurf up the tattoo with all the stretching.
which is why I stay away from those areas until I'm done having kids.

Your skin is stretching and tearing through the process. There is a chance that it could become warped or lose definition/coloration. A lot of times it can be touched up, but it depends on a lot of factors, such as age, size, etc.

It depends on the person I believe.

i think it depends... i'm a pretty big girl (size 20) so i wouldnt ever get a tat on my tummy but i knew someone with one around her belly button and it stretched all to hell but it may have just been her

Depends on how stretchy u are...

I'm 128, and got up to 190 with 3 pregnancies and my tatt on my stomach is fine...

I have one near my hip, and the only place it got messed up was where I got a stretch mark

Mine never messed up it looks pretty much the same. But it depends on the person.

Im quite small, got a tattoo on my ribs when I was 17.
And having my first bubs wrecked it, I mean it shrunk back and all but there is spots where there is stretch marks right through the lines and those stretch marks faded but didnt get smaller so there is parts of the tattoo that arent attatched to the rest.
If this is a girl its our last so ill be getting it fixed, lucky i never got it finished!!
the photo is before, i dont have an after photo

My hip tattoos got jacked up during my pregnancy.
