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.
