tattoos after baby?

Question

So my mom is coming down to see the little one be born! Supper excited!! Last time I saw her was for my birthday and we went and got tattoos. So after my son is born she wants to go and get tattoos since it'll be around her birthday. I just want to get my sons name tatted on my right ring finger so nothing huge! I have lots of tattoos already. But will I be able to? I'm going to be breastfeeding so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to or not?? And if not can you explain why?? Thanks ladies ❤️

Answer

I got this while nursing my 1 year old. I had it done by my regular tattoo artist I go to for all my tattoos. A few months later I tried to get another tattoo by someone else and they said they wouldn't tattoo me as a precaution while I'm nursing.
However, it's totally safe if you go to a reputable shop and take proper care of your tattoo (as you normally would) to keep away infection. The cause for concern by tattoo artist is possible risk of infection not the ink or anything like that.

Answer

Risk of infection is the only reason not to. Some shops will, some won't. Call and ask first, but honestly if you go to a reputable place that's clean and they open everything in front of you ((which, having many tattoos you already know this... lol)) and have a good after care method, you're good.

Answer

They have no reason to tell you no. I think you'll be fine!!

Answer

I don’t think there’s actually a reason behind it but I have some friends who are professional tattoo artist and they just don’t as a precaution. 
However, you can probably find some shops that do allow I think you just have to call ahead and ask. I think you and baby will be fine.
