Yup. 6 months for tattoos, piercings, having lived overseas for 6 months or more, and having sex with people from certain countries (seriously) It may vary from state to state, but that's how it is in the few states I've lived in (Massachusetts and Virginia.)

Wait 12 months after a tattoo if the tattoo was applied in a state that does not regulate tattoo facilities. This requirement is related to concerns about hepatitis. Learn more about hepatitis and blood donation.
Acceptable if the tattoo was applied by a state-regulated entity using sterile technique. Only a few states currently regulate tattoo facilities, so most donors with tattoos must wait 12 months after tattoo application before donating blood. You should discuss your particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation.

Yes after having a tattoo you can not donate blood for 6-12 months.

It all depends on how long you have had the tatoo. The wait for blood donation can be 6-12 months. If you decide to donate, let the voulteers know how long you have had the tatoo.

Only while the tattoo is new. Like six months to a year. The ink has to have a chance to settle.
