I recently got new tattoos which I hate but planning to start trying to conceive later this year. I am hoping to get a few laser removal sessions before then and obviously expect I will need to stop this while I'm pregnant but can I continue laser removal while I'm breastfeeding? Also is there long term health implications for having a heap of ink dispersed into our body? Thanks
