Is it safe to get a tatoo while breastfeeding?

Quoting Candice Overton:“ Is it safe to get a tatoo while breastfeeding?”

yes as long as the artist uses clean needles. Make sure the shop is sanitary.

No its not.

nope. Besides most places wont do it while your pregnant.

My doctor said it was totally fine... but if possible go to a place that you've already been before and trust so you know they're clean.

The ink used for tattoos will be safe, as it primarily stays in the skin and does not get into the circulation. HOWEVER, the needles used for the tattoo will pose a very small risk of transmitting hepatitis C. a larger, multi-colored tattoo poses a higher risk than small black tattoos. but the risk of contracting hepatitis is actually higher during a dentist visit than while getting a tattoo, so its basically up to you and the shop.

We own a tattoo shop, it is completely fine.

But everyone has their opinions.
