I have a tattoo near my boob I did a few weeks ago. My question is since I have a tattoo is it safe to still breastfeed my baby when hes born?

It will have no affect of breast feeding. It's just ink in the layers of the skin. It's no where near where the milk is made.

If it's healed completely I don't see where there would be an issue.

As long as it is healed by then and not directly over the nipple or on the actual boob, it should be fine. It doesn't hurt to double check with your doctor though!
