if you have contacted hepatitis as a result of getting a tattoo, you wont be able to donate blood. otherwise if you test negative for hepatitis you should be able to donate blood. your blood will be screened fully before it is given to a patient and they will let you know the results for your information.

You can donate blood. However, they will test you for diseases and if you contacted any, you will not be ablr to. Donating blood is good though, you can find out for free if you have any from the tatoo's.
If you go to donate plasma, you have to wait 5 years after the tatoo.

You can donate, if you're in Texas.
