Can I get a tattoo while breastfeeding?

Tattoos were very popular for a while. Not only boys like them, but some girls also like them because they think they are very cool. In fact, getting a tattoo may be a very normal thing in normal times, but some people who are breastfeeding may also have the idea of ​​getting a tattoo. So, can you get a tattoo while breastfeeding? In fact, many chemical substances contained in the pigments used for tattoos are harmful and may have an impact on the body and thus affect the child's body. Here are the reasons why you should not get tattoos during breastfeeding.

1. Benefits

1. There is an indescribable feeling when you tattoo your favorite pattern or idea on your body.

2. To achieve your own unique aesthetic concept, personalized tattoos can better highlight yourself.

3. Tattoos are a form of thought and can provide protection in some ways.

4. The visual impact and shock of tattoo patterns are unmatched by any other art form. The favorite pattern is pierced into the skin one by one, giving the tattoo great vitality. The pattern is different from the piercing location, and the tattoo becomes more vivid as the body changes.

2. Disadvantages

1. The harm of tattoos to individuals is that if the tattoo is in a more obvious part, it may be more difficult to find a job, because some work units will not hire people with tattoos.

2. Most tattoo artists do not understand medicine, and do not strictly disinfect or do not disinfect at all during tattooing. When the needle tip penetrates the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, causing various infectious diseases such as furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas, impetigo, etc. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly virulent, or even grow and multiply in the blood, sepsis may occur and be life-threatening.

3. There are many kinds of pigments used for tattoos, many of which are chemical substances. These chemicals can cause dermatitis and allergies when entering the human body, resulting in local itching, pain, burning sensation, numbness, etc. Some can even lead to cell mutations, which is a prelude to cancer.

4. The skin is the first line of defense of the human body. It can resist damage from external mechanical, physical, and chemical stimuli and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and plays an important role in human health. However, tattoos destroy this line of defense, reducing the body's ability to resist various stimuli, and are especially prone to bacterial infections.
