  1. Last spring (before I got my tattoo) now I have to wait a couple more months until I can donate again. But I think it is an awesome thing to do. When I was 13 I shattered my femur and had to get a couple of blood transfusions since I lost so much blood in my accident and following surgery.

  2. I am black listed. I can’t donate blood because of the places I travel. I’m exposed to all kinds of crazy viruses. I might feel fine, but imagine someone who is already sick getting my malaria, TB, yellow fever exposed blood. It wouldn’t be good. So, I haven’t donated in years and I don’t anticipate being able to any time in the near future.
