It'll take awhile for it to go back to the regular way it was. If you get back to how you were before the preganncy, that tatto should be fine. a friend fo mine had a tattoo on her belly and she's on her second pregnant and her tattoo looks fine....If you get stretchies though that might do a little freak show on your belly wit hthat tat and it might look funny till that all goes away.

Just so you all know stretch marks aren't hereditary. It has to do with your skin elasticity...And nothing else. So just cause your mother didn't have them, doesn't mean you won't. You can very well get them if your mother didn't.

Stretch marks are hereditary, i've asked many doctors and thats what they all said. No amount of lotion will prevent them if you're going to get them.

How would it be hereditary? Each person has different elasticity in their skin? You can't inherit your mothers skin or your fathers skin at all...That's nuts....Lol

You can inherit the elasticity from them. Thats how.
