Question

i have years ago,but i have tattoos+i was told i cant now.is that true?

yes,i had them done in a proper legal state and sterilisation equipment.ta!

Answer 1

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 needles and ink that is not reused. 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.

Answer 2

I'd love to give blood. But, unfortunately I don't weigh enough.
I have given when my weight was acceptable. Btw, you should be able to give blood if you are healthy and have had the tattoo's for longer than 12 months.
