A member asked:

I got black henna tattoo done up to my elbows & feet while pregnant 8wks. afterwards i found out it was black hair dye with para-phenylenediamine. im freaking out. will it affect baby harshly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tattoo/ pregnant: Probably note, since it's only topical and probably not absorbed systemically into your blood and therefore probably cannot affect baby, but correct answer is nobody can tell you 100% it's perfectly safe for baby -- that's why you basically don't do anything to your body when pregnant including smoking, alcohol, tattoos, or anything else -- biggest advice is quickly tell your OB/Gyn to monitor
