My entire back is tattooed (including the requisite tramp stamp) and people told me that.

It's really not a tramp stamp since it covers a much wider area. But yeah, I got it for my birthday in 2005 after I got back from India. I felt like I had just gone through a big rite of passage and I wanted to commemorate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176538 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:18:18 +0000 MsMamaBear 176538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one, but I got an epidural. Heck, that tat is so old, 12 yrs, it wouldn't have mattered if it was true.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176537 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:17:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 176537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never heard that but I did hear if you had a belly button piercing and didn't take it out and let it close up before your belly got big during pregnancy, it would tear a slit from the whole to your belly button. I've since learned it isn't true, but it certainly cured 16 year old me of any desire to get one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176535 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:15:03 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 176535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard this when I was a teenager, totally forgot until now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176530 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:04:43 +0000 GrapeCrush 176530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>someone told me this too. claimed that the ink would get in my blood stream...morons lol i was able to get an epidural no problem </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176528 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:01:16 +0000 Honeybee 176528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Hehehe, you have a tramp stamp? :) I never would've guessed that of you!</p> <p>I have heard this rumor before, but I don't have any tattoos, so it never applied to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176527 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:00:52 +0000 rachiecakes 176527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: yepyep&amp;yep!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176526 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:00:33 +0000 Rock n Roll 176526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard this, but also knew it was total BS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176522 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:57:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 176522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tramp stamp here + delicious epidural = complete urban myth :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176521 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:56:22 +0000 cyndistar3 176521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is only true if the tattoo is not healed yet/ infected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epidural-urban-myth#post-176519 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:54:23 +0000 chopsuey 176519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha never heard of it!

I now know this is false due to 3 friends going through them, but wondered if anyone had heard this rumor? It freaked me out enough I had to ask my doctor just to be sure! </p>
