Because the ink from a tattoo is still in your bloodstream for up to a year after it is completed.
12 months
Yes, you have to wait 12 months after getting tattooed to give blood.
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.
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.
A person needs to wait for at least 6 or 8 weeks after surgery before getting a tattoo. The person getting the tattoo will need to speak to their doctor before getting the tattoo after surgery to make sure they are healthy enough.
a simple answer for this one...... nowhere? wait till your 18 to get a tattoo, or else you will regret getting the tattoo, most likely.
none, wait till you're older.
You have to wait for it to fully heal, which takes about 1 to 2 weeks
No, you usually have to wait a few months. When you try to donate, they might ask you if you've had any piercings or tattoos in the past like 3 months.
According to the American Red Cross Blood Donor Eligibility page, there is a 12-month deferral if you received the tattoo in an unlicensed tattoo facility. But if you received the tattoo in a state-licensed tattoo facility (using sterile needles, not reusing ink), then then there is no deferral.
4 Months... Some blood donor groups recommend a year.
I would give yourself a day break between to two just so you dont tax yourself too much unless you are getting and simple piercing and a little tattoo, then it's up to the studio and what they think you can handle in one sitting.
