Tattoos: You can donate plasma (and show off your new ink!) straight away after a tattoo, as long as it was done in a licensed tattoo parlour in Australia. But, you'll need to wait four months to give blood or platelets, no matter how big or small the tattoo is — that means cosmetic tattoos, too.
You must be in good health at the time you donate. You cannot donate if you have a cold, flu, sore throat, cold sore, stomach bug or any other infection. If you have recently had a tattoo or body piercing you cannot donate for 6 months from the date of the procedure.

If you have A negative blood you can donate to anyone with a blood type of A or AB regardless of the positive or negative, however if you have A negative blood you can only receive A- or O- blood.
It's unknown exactly how long it takes for all of the ink particles to be removed from the body, but it is thought to be a process that could take years. In the meantime, the ink particles that do circulate through the body are believed to be harmless.
“I don't have tattoos so that I can donate blood more often", he told Diretta in a previous interview. The Portugal ace often promotes blood donation across his social media platforms, and if you have a tattoo, you have to wait four months after each inking to give blood.
Other reasons you may not be able to donate blood: You've experienced hepatitis or jaundice in the last year. You've had certain types of cancer, or are being treated for cancer. Blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease disqualify you from donating, to protect both donor and recipient.
The most common of these eight is O-positive, found in roughly 40% of the U.S. blood donor population. Type O-positive blood can be given to a patient with any positive blood type, and is also considered the most needed blood type around. That means it can be given to over 85% of patients who need a blood transfusion.
38% of the population has O positive blood, making it the most common blood type. O positive red blood cells are not universally compatible to all types, but they are compatible to any red blood cells that are positive (A+, B+, O+, AB+).
The need for O+ is high because it is the most frequently occurring blood type (37% of the population). The universal red cell donor has Type O negative blood. The universal plasma donor has Type AB blood.
People with O -ve blood type can receive blood only from an O-ve donor. They, therefore, have the worst odds of finding a donor.
The common causes of temporary deferral include low hemoglobin, infections including malaria, and duration of last blood donation less than three months. The donors could be permanently deferred due to underlying chronic conditions [10].
You can give blood if you have depression if you are well on the day. Taking an antidepressant is generally not a cause for deferral if you are well established on your treatment (at least 4 weeks) and have no side effects from the medication.
Tattoo Removal
Well, many bodybuilders do have tattoos, and tattoos can be distracting for judges trying to see a builder's physique. The tattoo may obscure the natural contours and shadows created by muscular development. I am sure that there are bodybuilders out there who have considered tattoo removal.
Beckham has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols, which translates as “Death and life have determined appointments. Riches and honor depend upon heaven.” He also has the year he was born, 1975, a tribute to his mother and father and the words 'We Love You Daddy'.
Improves One's Self-Esteem
People who feel good about themselves are more likely to want to express themselves through their appearance, and tattoos are a popular way to do that. For many people, getting a tattoo is a way to show the world that they are confident and proud of who they are.
Q: Are tattoos bad for your liver? A: Tattoo ink may get accumulated in the liver and kidneys over a prolonged period of time but as such does not directly affect the liver. Indirectly, tattoos may cause severe liver damage due to hepatitis infection.
Some studies have found that heavily-inked individuals actually have more antibodies circulating in the blood than those without tattoos. It's led some to theorize that a tattoo could have a “priming” effect, acting as a long-term, low-level workout for the immune system.
Using data from NYP/CUIMC, we found moderately increased infection prevalence among non-O blood types and among Rh-positive individuals. Intubation risk was increased among AB and B types, and decreased among A and Rh-negative types.
When a mother-to-be and father-to-be are not both positive or negative for Rh factor, it's called Rh incompatibility. For example: If a woman who is Rh negative and a man who is Rh positive conceive a baby, the fetus may have Rh-positive blood, inherited from the father.
Recent data suggests that people with blood type A have a significantly higher risk of acquiring COVID-19 than non-A blood types. Blood type O seems to have the lowest risk. Yet these risks are relative, meaning people with type O blood are not immune to COVID-19.
