Can you get an epidural if you have a tramp stamp?!

Question: I was planning to get a tattoo on my lower back, but someone told me that you can't get an epidural if you have one there...is that true?

I have one on my lower back and I got an epidural with my daughter last year...Just an urban myth!

i think they do the epidural more towards the middle of your back so it shouldnt matter.

Yes you can still have an epidural, they will do it in another location, same if you needed to have a spinal tap done. Just don't get the tattoo very close to when you have to have an epidural, no sense having more back pain then is necessary.
