In areas where tattooing is not as closely monitored, people are asked to wait for 12 months to give blood after getting a tattoo. This waiting period ensures that the donor is free of any potential blood-borne diseases which could have been passed on unsanitary equipment.
Best Answer: No you can't donate blood if you got a tattoo within a year. Heres what the deferred list says... 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.ctually, they just changed the regulations in our state. If you got a tattoo at a state regulated tattoo shop, you can donate blood as soon as the tattoo is healed. My husband got a tattoo on December 8, 2007 and just donated blood yesterday.
