According to Lori Kramer, Organ Procurement Transplant Coordinator, Midwest Transplant Network; "there really are no rules. A lot of our donors have tattoos. So having a tatoo, or a few tattoos does not make you inelligible."But we found out what can make a person inelligible is where or how they got the tattoo. Unlike these professional tattoos, homemade and prison art can put a potential donor in a high risk category. "We do ask family at the time of the pateint's death where they got the tattoo and how long they've had it, but it doesn't necissarily make them inelligible to be a donor. Obtaining that medical history from families is extremely important," said Kramer.
