    If its all done with sterile equipment in theory I think it should be ok, but that said I'm sure most professional piercers would prefer not to take the risk and may refuse if you tell them you're pregnant.

    Why not save it for a post birth celebration?

    My understanding was that it's a no-no. Due to the infection risk. Same as with tattoos.
    That's what I got told when I went for a piercing, anyway.

    I have no idea where you would get such crazy ideas from but...when you find out the name be sure to let me know

    Oh and I say yes do it, but perhaps ring around see what the piercer says?

    What are you getting done? Foreward helix? I have one and love it. I would take the risk... it's pretty small. Good luck.

    yep, got all 3 done. the lady said so long as everything is sterile theres no reason why i couldnt get it done.
    she showed me each unopened needle pack before she opened them and did it
