No, you usually have to wait a few months. When you try to donate, they might ask you if you've had any piercings or tattoos in the past like 3 months.

You are pregnant wanting a small tattoo and the doctor and tattoo artist assured me it would be fine but I am scared?

Your doctor is an idiot for telling you it would be fine. And your tattooist is not a doctor and is not qualified to give such advice. All doctors who actually know what they are talking about will tell you to wait until after you give birth - tattoo ink can enter the blood, blood which you are sharing with your baby.
