Concerns About Breast Tattoos

Risk of Infection- The most obvious concern that most people have about getting a breast tattoo is the risk of infection. This should be a top concern for any person getting a tattoo anywhere on their body. Take your decision to get a tattoo seriously, and find a reputable tattoo artist that adheres to all safety and hygiene practices as prescribed by the laws of the community. Most good artists are maniacal about safety and cleanliness, but always do your research and get references whenever possible. Breasts change shape and will affect the tattoo's appearance- In many cases, this is true. The skin on the breast stretches and shrinks during pregnancy and due to natural aging. Sometimes it will change the appearance of a breast tattoo. If a woman has small or firm breasts and takes good care of her skin, the tattoo is less likely to become distorted with the passing of time. All tattoos can become "fuzzy" over time, no matter where they are located. The tattoo ink will poison my baby if I decide to nurse- This is a patently false urban legend perpetrated by people who just don't get body art. There has not been one documented case of infant "death by ink" from breast milk!. Social stigma- If you are concerned about what other people think of your tattoo, you may wish to reconsider getting one. The beauty of a breast tattoo is that it does not have to be seen. If it is seen, it will most likely elicit strong opinions, so you will need to be secure in your decision to have a tattoo.
