tattoo and blood donationYou can give blood BEFORE a tattoo but the Red Cross has a restriction on blood donation AFTER a tattoo. I am not sure if it if one year or three years. **It was a year, but they recently changed it to 6 months.But I've never heard of anything saying you can't give blood before a tattoo. Go give blood!
The Chance of hepatitis & other diseases are more likely after a tattoo.
Because the ink from a tattoo is still in your bloodstream for up to a year after it is completed.
Yes, you have to wait 12 months after getting tattooed to give blood.
12 months
No
The application of a tattoo requires a needle to be inserted into the skin. This needle use has the potential to spread bloodborne pathogens like HIV or hepatitis if the person giving the tattoo has not used appropriate infection control procedures.

Your doctor is an idiot for telling you it would be fine. And your tattooist is not a doctor and is not qualified to give such advice. All doctors who actually know what they are talking about will tell you to wait until after you give birth - tattoo ink can enter the blood, blood which you are sharing with your baby.
Yes you can, i asked how long you have to wait till you give blood after getting a peircing....and they said 6-7 months:) if you got a tattoo you have to wait a year.
Getting a tattoo when you have had radiotherapy is not recommeded as there may be a chance of the spread of infection, but the best thing you can do is ask the tattoo artist beforehand.
