[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you get one? Me: Never, I'm a regular blood donor and that would render me less eligible [/quote] There may be other reasons to avoid a tattoo, but blood donations should not be one of them. From the Red Cross donation guidelines: [quote]Wait 12 months after a tattoo [i]if the tattoo was applied in a state that does not regulate tattoo facilities[/i] .... Acceptable if the tattoo was applied by a state-regulated entity using sterile needles and ink that is not reused. There are 32 states that currently regulate tattoo facilities. http://www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/eligibility-requirements/eligibility-criteria-topic[/quote] Some quick research says that MD and VA are states that regulate tattoos, while DC is unregulated. http://www.aaatattoodirectory.com/tattoo_regulations.htm[/quote]
