Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. I would suggest to wait. You can probably go for a tattoo after delivery. Hepatitis B, a dangerous liver infection, and HIV/AIDS are two of many diseases that can be passed along through bodily fluids. This means you can catch these diseases if you get a tattoo from someone who uses a dirty needle. And it's possible for you to pass these diseases along to your baby while you're pregnant. Hope this answers your query. Thanks and regards.
