Can I donate blood if I have a Tattoo?


It is a myth that people with tattoos are barred from donating blood. No, it is not true. People with tattoos can donate blood as long as the tattoo was applied by a regulated entity using sterile needles and ink that was not reused. In some cases, you may need to wait for a few months after getting inked to make sure you did not pick up hepatitis along the way.

Anyway, potential donors should discuss their particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation.
