Q. I would not think it does but I wondered if anyone has done any research on it. My husband and I are designating our children with animals so our first son will be given a bear. I am getting bear paw prints on my back but want to know if I need to wait till I am completely done nursing. I hope not bc obviously he is something that we are both proud of and want to show it together. My husband is getting a bear on his shoulder.

There is no evidence that getting a tattoo will affect breastfeeding. There should be no harm to mom or baby from the dyes injected. If you get a tattoo, the biggest concern for anyone (not just nursing moms) is infection (hepatitis or HIV)-- so make sure the place you go has good references and is clean.

Is it safe to get a tattoo while breastfeeding?
Tattoos are created by injecting ink into the dermal (second and third) layer of the skin. Tattooists use a hand-held electric machine that is fitted with solid needles coated in the ink. The needles enter the skin hundreds of times a minute to a depth of up to a few millimeters. The ink that is used in tattoos in the United States is subject to FDA regulation as cosmetics, but none are approved for injection under the skin. However, the ink molecules are too large to pass into breastmilk.
General information about tattooing also applies to breastfeeding women. Local and systemic infections are the most prevalent risks of tattooing. Local infections can occur when the recommended aftercare regimen is not followed. Aftercare includes keeping the tattoo clean with mild soap and water, not picking at the scabs and keeping the tattoo out of the sun. Tylenol is often prescribed for the pain, if needed. Systemic infections occur when universal precautions are not followed by the tattoo artist and can include such diseases as hepatitis, tetanus and HIV.
It is very important to screen the tattooist and the shop carefully, checking with the local health department for local laws and regulations. Professional tattooists will follow universal precautions such as sterilization of the tattoo machine using an autoclave, single-use inks, ink cups, gloves and needles, bagging of equipment to avoid cross contamination, and thorough hand washing with disinfectant soap. Most tattooists will not knowingly tattoo a pregnant or breastfeeding mother. It is suggested that mothers wait at least until the child's first birthday to give their bodies a chance to recover completely from childbirth before getting a tattoo.
Is it safe to have a tattoo removed while breastfeeding?
Tattoo removal is now accomplished with the use of lasers. The laser energy causes the tattoo pigment to fragment into smaller particles which are picked up by the body's immune system and filtered out. The removal process is bloodless, low risk and has minimal side effects. The same aftercare as for a tattoo applies to its removal.
There is no evidence suggesting that tattoos affect the breastfeeding relationship or have any effect on breastmilk. If you have chosen to adorn your body with a tattoo and give your baby the baby the best start in life by breastfeeding you can feel comfortable in your decision.
Are Tattoos Compatible with Breastfeeding?

How long after I have my daughter, do you think is best to get my tattoos?
Q. Ever since I got pregnant with my second daughter, due Dec 5th, I have wanted to get 2 tattoos. They are of my daughters names and would be on my wrists. I was just wondering how long I should wait before getting them. I am not breast feeding because of complications with my first so that isn't a factor. Thank you.
A. I think it's funny how 3 out of 4 of your answers so far don't even answer your question.
If you want to get a tattoo, or two tattoos in this case, I would wait 6 weeks after your child is born. Even if you are not breast feeding, your body will still be going through a major change and will need to heal. Allow your body to heal and get better before you do something that could potentially lead to an infection. Also, many women's abdomens don't shrink back to normal size for a couple weeks, and a tattoo parlor might turn you away if they think you are still pregnant.
The best thing to do is talk to your doctor and then talk to a tattoo artist. They will both be able to tell you what is best, but I still recommend waiting 6 weeks even if they advise that you can do it sooner.
Good luck!
