Should you get a tattoo on your lower back?

Hi Taz :) I actually work in my parents' Tattoo & Piercing Studio here in Australia, and I've heard so many of these myths and misconceptions regarding tattoos. (Most invented by overly protective parents/friends who don't want their loved ones "ruining their lives" - Lol) Okay, as far as pregnancy (I did read that you don't plan on falling pregnant), the tattoo could possibly stretch as you put on weight and that may cause some distortion - this doesn't happen for everyone. Having an epidural and a tattoo won't cause any problems - unless skin is bad for such a procedure =P I have never, ever seen a case of nerve damage from any tattoo in any area of the body, simply because the needle just doesn't go that deep. A tattooist's only aim is to give you the tattoo that you want, and do the best possible job. =) The only sacrifices you will have to make after getting your tattoo are: -avoiding sun exposure for the first 2 weeks minimum - think of a tattoo as a burn; no-one wants to burn a burn. -no swimming (spa/hottub, pools, ocean) for two weeks - this will draw the colour out of your new tattoo (quick showers and light patting-dry with a towel are ideal) And every 4 hours or so, for the first 2-4 weeks, you firmly rub in your tattooist's recommended aftercare cream (we suggest Bepanthen, baby nappy rash cream - it's the best). Only a small amount, and so that it is absolutely rubbed into the skin. Leaving any cream on top can also draw out the colour before it has settled into the skin. Anyway, that's enough from me. I hope that you get and love your new tattoo =D

The tattoo only goes under the skin it doesn't even get into the fatty tissue so it doesn't get near the nerves. My daughter has a lizard tattoo right where you are talking about and there is no problem. The first thing you do is go to a tattoo artist that is affiliated with a doctor so you know that he is clean and licensed and knows what he is doing. Then you get the tattoo.

In our country only children get tattoo on chick, hand and neck we adult people do not like it or use it.

I haven't heard about the dangers and pregnancy but I do know the lower back is one of the most painful places to get a tattoo.but if the lower back is where you want it, visit your doctor before getting the tattoo and ask about the dangers and pregnancy.
