We live in a world where the topic of breastfeeding has become controversial. It's really rather ridiculous. Mothers get judged if they don't breastfeed, but that doesn't mean that mothers who do breastfeed don't get judged. Oh, they get judged about how long they do it, where they do it and if they make other people uncomfortable because of it. Again, RIDICULOUS! There should be no controversy surrounding breastfeeding. That's why these beautiful breastfeeding tattoos are so wonderful because they are about celebrating and commemorating a relatively brief moment in a mother and child's relationship and preserving it forever.

What guarantees you will never get sick of a tattoo?
Choosing a tattoo that you won't get sick of isn't easy, but it's hard to imagine that a mother will ever tire of being reminded of her child as a baby.
Breastfeeding ends up being about so much more than feeding.
Yes, it's how a mother nourishes her child, but it's also a great way to bond.
It's a reminder of how incredible our bodies are.
It's impossible not to appreciate what your body can do when you are a mother. Even if a mother never breastfeeds, her body can carry a child and comfort a child.
Time is relative.
Those first few months of motherhood can feel like an eternity, but they really don't last very long. It's touching to be reminded of when you were everything to your child.
You don't know until you know.
Other parents can try to describe to you what loving your child will be like, but it's impossible. You might think you know all about love before having children, but you don't. The love you have for your child is expansive, ever-growing and true in the truest form.
It's a type of surrender.
You spend your whole life creating boundaries to protect your body, but when you breastfeed, you have to relax and allow for a connection that doesn't require or allow those boundaries.
The weaker sex?
I don't think so. You are more powerful than you ever suspected.
Unicorns have nothin' on a breastfeeding mama.
Unicorn this and unicorn that may be all the rage at the moment, but a breastfeeding mama is more magical than any mythical creature.
There are no words.
Nothing can describe what it's like to look down at your child as they nurse.
Each moment spent together is precious.
That skin-to-skin contact and time spent together helps create ties that will last a lifetime.
YASS Queen!
We should be crowning mothers as the queens that they are.
It's not so simple.
For anyone that has ever struggled to breastfeed, it's not as simple as so many make it out to be. Yes, it's natural, but it's not always simple and can feel like a monumental accomplishment.
It's a beautiful thing.
People can try to shame mothers for breastfeeding in front of others, but why? Breastfeeding is beautiful and those who can't see it need to take a good look at themselves because they're the ones who have issues.
