It really depends on where you're at. I live in Orlando and when I asked, they told me that I only needed to wait 6 weeks (long enough for the surface to really heal). I would ask the blood bank where you plan to donate what their policies are.

Usually you have to wait a year after getting your tattoo to donate blood. Even if you go to a reputable, sterile shop to get your tattoo, the people taking your blood want to know that there is no possibility whatsoever that you could possibly have caught anything from the needle.

NO because ink goes into your blood.
