    I haven't and I wouldn't, and a reputable tattoo artist would not tattoo a pregnant woman, because of the infection risk and also (and I don't know how to describe this technically so bear with me!) you're body goes through a stressed state, and because of the pain and adrenaline your blood sugar levels go up and down to deal with it, and that's generally not good for a pregnant woman or bub to go through.

    Thanks everyone.
    I have contacted a reputable tattoist (actually, where I have had tattoos done before) and they said the same thing as Leasha, because of the stressed state you can go through it isn't advisable and therefore they don't do it. I'm more than happy to wait it out until next year and was expecting to do so anyway
