    So, nearing the end of my pregnancy, and plan to go with OH to get a tattoo in honour of the little lady when she arrives. I've not decided what to get yet, we aren't doing names, just something symbolic of the occasion.

    I plan to breastfeed, pretty sure this doesn't affect my getting a tattoo, but was wondering what would be the recommended time to wait before getting one. Going for leg, not sure whether upper or lower yet though!

    Had a big discussion about this a few months before my little fella was born. Apparently tattoo's while breast feeding aren't a good idea, even though there's no risk of the ink passing through the breast milk...

    Jeez :confused:

    I might ask the guy that did my last one (or rather the guy that runs the place that I got my last one done). He's always been really professional but I was hoping to get an insight from mothers. I know it doesn't pass through breast milk - tbh I'd be more concerned about weight fluctuations or fluid retention causing problems with the finished tattoo.

    And again, just like was said in that thread, the reason shops won't tattoo a breastfeeding mother has nothing to do with ink passing through the breast milk.
