breastfeeding + tattoos

I keep running across gorgeous images of tattooed moms nursing their babes!  I've never been brave enough to get a tattoo, but when I see these pictures I feel like running out and getting inked.  Don't these mamas look so incredibly fierce and fab?

  4. Leigh! Thanks so much for showing us here - we found a moment of peace in a petting zoo of all places. Agreed the first two pictures are just...stunning. So much love!

  5. I love your blog! As a first time mom, I was surprised by how much criticism I received regarding breastfeeding and wanting a natural birth. It is nice to see such a positive outlook to both. Thank you!

  6. The nicest part of tattoos and breastfeeding is that the kids have something *besides your other nipple* to fiddle with when they are bored. I put a butterfly under my breasts, and had it shortened, so when I got pregnant (with twins!) it stretched to the original proportions. So many times, I've been able to let a small child inspect my tattoos while my husband and I get a chance to talk to each other. (We have four kids now, and another on the way.) I think buying each other tattoos has been part of the success in our marriage.

  7. I am also slightly obsessed with tattooed women breastfeeding :)

    I am going to be running a contest on my blog and fb asking people to submit pictures of themselves breastfeeding or being breastfed as children for the opportunity to win free birth photography from me!
