Risk of waiting?: #1 - get a pregnancy test. If pregnant, the risks of a properly performed tattoo are small, but why take any risk? Seems like the risks associated with waiting to get your tattoo are lower that the risk of proceeding while pregnant. Best to wait until after you are not pregnant and separate your hazards.
