Mastitis after a tattoo
Has anyone ever been tattooed while breastfeeding? Did you have any issues if so?
Edit: I have a ten month old and have been breastfeeding for two years without ever having mastitis. I signed a waiver saying I wasn’t pregnant or breastfeeding. I’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding for the last 3.5 years and I’ve wanted this tattoo forever. I’ve got enough milk to get my baby to a year, so it’s not like she’d starve if I had to quit. Also I did plenty of research, none of which pointed to tattoos being unsafe during breastfeeding. It’s just a liability for the shop which is why they have you sign something. Actually checked with a lactation consultant I worked with at the hospital who said there was no reason I couldn’t get one. Just looking for other people’s experiences.
