whomever said that you can't have an epidural if you have a lower back tattoo is not educated on the matter. I have a tattoo right where they put the epidural and there was no issue with it at all. And the tattoo still looks the same after the epidural. |

Did it go through your tattoo. Look, I'm not lieing. That's the policy where I work, in Canada. |

LOL.. i agree with the commercial... i hope it aired somewhere!! Im not against tats.. (i dont have any as yet) but im waiting to find the right one.. hasnt happened yet but im sure it will soon as im getting ancy! But i have a few peircings... tounge, nose, ears.......... mainly the 'now days main stream' ones... but when i got them done it wasnt the mainstream so Whateva... lol... i do think that more ppl should think of the ink or holes they r getting done......it is long lasting and something you should want forever! Especially if you want to become 'some one decent' as they say a politician or something. |

Hey, you can make you're own minds up as to whether or not the concerns are legitimate or not, but consider your resources. I'm not saying that it's necessarily right, but what I'm saying is true in the sense that these policies exist. As far as I'm concerned doctors these days don't generally make these decisions without some sort of evidence to suggest there is room for questioning. Let's face it, body mod advocate or not, you must recognize there are potential risks with introducing any foreign material into your body. Not to mention, a doc cannot assertain whether the art you had done was legit. A friend of mine worked in an art store and had to be able to recommend which inks wouldn't kill you if put in the body. There are enough school yard tats out there to blur the lines. |

wow. lot to cover here.
@BumbleBB: No matter what the policy is on such things, an MRI cannot pull ink out of you (the thought is that black tattoo ink has iron elememts and therefore is dangerous) and also any injection/puncture (including an epi) will not bleed out ink. i have personally had a tattoo bitten through (long story) and it healed back to original form.@ Falloutchik, Greenspark82: a short story: i have a tattoo (NOT the bitten one). i asked the artist to use a deep setting on the needle to allow for scarring. that, plus keloid (look it up) left me with a 3D Tattoo! colored scarring? in this case as requested indeed, yet still to my design and not so indiscriminate or deadly as oh... setting yourself on fire. Fallout: you have it right.
Greenspark: opinionated much?
Bumble: Policy is more fear than fact. |

But if you don't buy that, then I'll offer this one up. MRIs will sometimes not be performed on patients with tattoos. Might not seem serious, but as a major diagnostic tool it can be for some people. I'm not judgeing by the way. I have tattoos and all four of my siblings have ink, three of them have extensive work done. |

falloutchik. no offence hun, but tell it to me when you're in labor and delivery and you ask for your epi and I have to say no. The risk of drawing ink into the cerebral spinal fluid is too high. At least that's the protcol here in Canada. |

ok for starters boys and girls, tattoos aren't scars. a tattoo well taken care of and well done will heal like healthy normal skin, only with pigment beneath the outermost layer of skin. done poorly, an artist can hamburger a tattoo when shading or line improperly causing SCAR tissue. again, done correctly, there is no SCAR tissue, making it not a SCAR. two, that is a big fat crock of poop about the epidural thing. all it is is normal skin with pigment healed into it. the epidural won't magically make the ink unheal from the skin, turn to liquid and interfere with it. the epi might scar the tattoo is all. the only reason they would avoid doing the epi would be if the tattoo was still in the initial healing stage because of infection risks. |

because doctors dont want to interfere with the ink and with an epidural, it normally goes right where most women get tramp stamps |

"if you put a big ol tatty on your back and then get pregnant you can kiss that lovely epidural good-bye."???
Please explain. I do not and will not ever have kids, but I'm really curious about this. Why would a tattoo on a woman's back be grounds for denying her this kind of anesthesia? |

A tattoo is a scar. Albeit, a colorful one but still a scar. If someone likes scar tissue this much why don't they just set themselves on fire for thirty seconds and then jump in a lake. |
