Tattoos & breastfeeding is it safe to continue breastfeeding if i get a new tattoo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tattoo : Tattoo parlors have a long reputation of problems with sterililty of equipment. This doesn't mean that this is a problem at all parlors. Contaminated equipment can lead to transmission of diseases like hepatitis. This would be problematic for a breast feeding infant.
