Lower back tattoo designs and epidurals
Lower back tattoo designs are extremely popular among young
women. For one, the designs are sexy and draw attention to a woman's
backside. Current fashion trends help girls show off these tattoos,
as lots of stylish tops are made to bear the midriff and jeans are
slung low around the hips. But these tattoos are making doctors warn
women to think twice.
Because the lower back tattooing phenomenon is fairly recent, it
takes a few years to fully comprehend any health effects. This is
not to say that getting this kind of tattoo is actually dangerous,
however. There is nothing wrong with getting the tattoo -- it's just
that the location of lower back tattoos is the same as where medical
injections can occur.
Consequently, it's starting to become an issue when a woman in
labor requests an epidural. Doctors administer epidurals to the
lumbar region, and they are starting to wonder if there is any
danger associated with a needle going through the inked area. The
long-term effects of anesthesia on the tattooed skin are unknown,
but researchers continue to assess possible negative interactions.
Currently, the goal is to find a non-tattooed area of skin to
administer the epidural.
While it might seem like something too far off in the future to
consider, it is important to think about the future implications of
getting a lower back tattoo. If you are planning on having children
later on in life and would like an epidural, you may want to look
into the dimensions of your tattoo design. It's not a matter of
choosing an epidural over a tattoo -- it is simply a matter of being
aware.
