I have a 2 month old whom i am breastfeeding. Is it safe to get a tattoo???

Let the child grow up and choose its own tattoo.

You can get sick or get an infection when the ink gets into your blood so no, it's not safe

the ink molecules are too large to pass through to breastmilk, and they cant really even get that far because the ink is only shot into the 2nd and 3rd layers of skin. Just make sure to go to a reputable tattooist to prevent disease such as hepatitis. Make sure the artist is in a very sterile environment. You def. dont want an infection. Although I have to say that most good tatooists will not tattoo a woman who has given birth until their child is at least 1 year old, to give that womans body adequate time to heal before causing more trauma. hope that helps.

I love it, let the baby choose its own tattoo. I am still laughing. B

But why not wait till after you are done breast feeding, I can't see the rush. But if you want to rush it, talk to your personal doctor and see if they have any concerns.

I'm sorry, but this is just too funny not to have it appear again.
