Are tattoos and breastfeeding compatible?
One of the biggest concerns of women who have tattooed a breast or want to get it tattooed is whether it will affect the baby in the future.
Tattoos prior to pregnancy or breastfeeding: they have no effect on the baby or breast milk: you can breastfeed without any problem.
Tattoos during pregnancy: There is no study on whether having the mother tattooed during pregnancy will negatively affect the baby. What is clear is that there is a connection between the two, so I don't think anything will happen to you if you wait until delivery so as not to subject the child to unnecessary stress.
Tattoos on the chest while breastfeeding
Being a tattooed mom? Yes I can
The Denia Hospital page ensures that the tattoo is safe and risk free for breastfeeding although it warns about the dangers of the lack of sanitary control.
It is obvious that the tattoo has to be done to you (as always) a professional with all the measures and sanitary guarantees to avoid contracting hepatitis B and C, HIV or Tetanus; but don't forget that there are also cases of allergic reactions so if you haven't had any before, I'd wait until I'm done breastfeeding.
You can tell me that for that you can do the allergy tests Of which I have already told you in another article, but we are in the same: I wouldn't risk my baby: I'm not going to die waiting another year to get a tattoo, really.
I personally would not get my nipple tattooed
Finally, as for the question of whether the ink will pass into the milk, the information that I have found on the matter states that the ink molecules in tattoos are too large and therefore do not pass into breast milk.
Anyway, I do not have a medical degree, so if someone has a different opinion than feel free to share it.
