Or a cover up job.

I have one on my right breast that has seen better days after breastfeeding 4 babies. It's been stretched and deflated that many times now that the ink is all patchy. It didn't really occur to me that it might be affected by having babies, was rather young when I got it and not thinking about babies at all!]]> Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:38:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=706691&title=tattoo-on-tummy#706691 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=706146&title=tattoo-on-tummy#706146 Author: Millyz

Good question . . I didn't think at all about future pregnancy when I got mine done, it's about an inch and a half long and quite far over on my left side, so I might be okay, I think thou if it all goes horribly wrong I can just get tattoo removal done. ]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:53:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705795&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705795 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705718&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705718 Author: Millyz

Yeah I did think of it at the time, hence why I got it further down and out of the immediate firing line.

Thanks for your tips ladies, hopefully just keeping up the moisterising routine and keeping fit will be enough to keep it from stretching too much.]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:12:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705718&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705718 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705707&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705707 Author: Aquarius

I don't have a tattoo but I can say that my whole belly has stretch marks gallore so if I did have one on my belly somewhere it would have got some through it. And I did use bio oil and cocoa butter but to no avail.]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:27:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705608&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705608 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705589&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705589 Author: Millyz

Yes um I hadn't even thought of that!! Eek!!

I've got one in a similar place too, however I was a bit lazy about putting cream on my belly and have stretch marks through my tattoo. You can still see the tat and what it is - not that anyone other than my DH sees my belly anymore! ]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:21:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705516&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705516 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705515&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705515 Author: Mum_mum

I have a tattoo that sits alomost in line with my hip but more towards the middle side IYKWIM. Its probably a bit bigger than 2 50 cent coins.
So far i have found that it hasnt streched but that could still be to come lol. I rub bio oil on in the morning and then the palmers stuff at night (thought i would cover all my bases lol) anyway, i am more worried about as Flutterby says the event of a c-section cutting it in half ]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:20:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705515&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705515 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705452&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705452 Author: Shezamumof3

I have a tattoo in a similar place but a bit lower by the sounds of it, its kind of just where the belly starts to stretch if you know what I mean? Anyways, this is my second pregnancy and the tattoo is fine and still looks like it did before pregnancy. I always rub baby oil or some other cream onto my tummy and I put it on my tattoo as well, so i think thats helped a lot.]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:24:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705452&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705452 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705433&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705433 Author: Babe

Hmm, eating a good diet inclusive of vitamin C rich foods is better for your skin than any cream. BUT in saying that I love bio oil (used that at night) and palmers fragrance free cocoa butter (used in mornings). Didn't get any new stretch marks which saved the tattoo, but then I had a c-section and they cut right through it!! So I ended up with a scar in it anyway.]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:55:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705405&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705405 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705400&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705400 Author: Millyz

This is a total superficial question!!

I have a tattoo on my tum. Its approx 1.5-2 inches below my belly button and to the side (size of an old 50c piece) so I would imagine its not completely in the firing line of stretching as my tummy grows but it will be affected.

So can anyone tell me, if/when it stretches can it go back to its original shape or will it be ruined, and can anyone recommend anything to put on it throughout the pregnancy to help return it to its former glory after the birth?]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:46:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27061&PID=705400&title=tattoo-on-tummy#705400
