No. You need to wait a full calendar year before you can donate blood or plasma.
Tattoo
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.

The blood center in Reno makes you wait a full year from the time of the tattoo.

When you go to donate tell them your situation.
I have 67 tattoos and I have never had a problem but the laws differ in every state.

Yes.......your first answer says it all. This would also depend on your state laws.
