Should I get a tattoo or a piercing if I’m breastfeeding?

Permanent Tattoo Safety

The reasoning for not getting a tattoo or piercing when you're breastfeeding is similar to the reasoning why you shouldn't get a tattoo or piercing when you're pregnant. Your immune system is weakened while your body is healing from a tattooing or piercing, and, therefore, you are more likely to get an illness. Unfortunately, that illness can be passed to your child through your breast milk.
