I have a tattoo. Two weeks ago, when I donated last, I asked one of the Red Cross workers how long I had to wait to donate again after I get my other tat done. He said I had to wait one year if I get my tat done in a state that doesn't regulate their tattoo places,like Minnesota. Otherwise if I get it done in a state that does regulate or license those places, I could donate next time. I think I would still wait the full year anyway.

Yes. I donate plasma twice per week and have several tattoos. A person needs to wait up to 12 months after a recent tattoo to resume donating.

The same idea of a time limit applies to those who have recently had a surgery or anything to that affect. I donated plasma for 6 months before someone finally woke up and said that I could not because my arms were sliced and diced from razor blades. I had to go a full year and actually got banned from the clinic until I could show that I had not cut within the past year - what a crock!

at least a couple days. and for all of the people saying that you dont loose enough blood in a tattoo for it to matter... it does matter because it can make you light headed and cause you to faint. The artist i go to makes me fill out a form asking if you are pregnant, epileptic, have drank in 24 hours or have recently donated blood. you do have to wait.

Yes, but it depends on how long it's been since the latest tattoo and whether you have any other factors that would prevent you from donating.

yes, under certain conditions. If the parlor is state-regulated (most of them are not), then you can donate right away. If not, you must wait 12 months to donate.
