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.
A person needs to wait for at least 6 or 8 weeks after surgery before getting a tattoo. The person getting the tattoo will need to speak to their doctor before getting the tattoo after surgery to make sure they are healthy enough.

In South Carolina, you must wait at least 12 months after getting a tattoo before you can donate blood. This waiting period is primarily to reduce the risk of transmitting infections that could be associated with tattooing. However, if the tattoo is done in a licensed facility, the deferral period may not apply, so it’s best to check with the blood donation center for their specific policies.

You have to wait for it to fully heal, which takes about 1 to 2 weeks
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.
According to the American Red Cross Blood Donor Eligibility page, there is a 12-month deferral if you received the tattoo in an unlicensed tattoo facility. But if you received the tattoo in a state-licensed tattoo facility (using sterile needles, not reusing ink), then then there is no deferral.
4 Months... Some blood donor groups recommend a year.
