What Are the Risks?
If you decide to get a tattoo, chances are everything will go as planned. But if disinfection and sterilization steps aren't followed, there are some things you need to be aware of that can go wrong. If you don't go to a tattoo studio or the tattoo studio doesn't follow precautions like using sterilized equipment or if it shares ink between customers, you're putting yourself at risk for getting viral infections such as hepatitis, bacterial skin infections, or dermatitis (severe skin irritation).
Also, some people have allergic reactions to the tattoo ink. And if you already have a skin condition such as eczema, you may have flare-ups as a result of the tattoo.
Serious complications can result if you attempt to do a tattoo yourself, have a friend do it for you, or have it done in any unclean environment. Because tattooing involves injections under the skin, viruses such as HIV and hepatitis B and C can be transferred into your body if proper precautions aren't followed. For this reason, the American Red Cross and some other blood banks require people to wait 12 months after getting a tattoo before they can donate blood.

Why do you want a tattoo? Hopefully not to be different as it seems everybody is getting them. Can't you wait until you are completely finished breastfeeding your child? What's the big hurry?

I would wait until you are done. You never know if you could end up with some kind of infection. It is worth waiting in order to make sure that your baby is not getting some kind of infection from the milk.

Absolutely please dont get a tatoo while you are still breastfeeding. If you were to get any infection, you would pass it right to your child via the milk. Think it through

Yes but babies do cry when you tattoo them so wear some ear defenders.
