The typical waiting period is 12 months after receiving a tattoo. Even in areas where tattoo businesses are regularly inspected through the Health Department it is generally a good practice to still wait. The reason for this waiting period is to ensure the potential donor is free from any blood borne pathogens which could be passed on with the use of unsanitary equipment.
No it thins the blood
Tattooed people can't donate blood because of the inherent risks that might come to whoever receives the blood. The risks that the ink from the tattoo might have infected the bloodstream can give the recipient blood diseases.
Your blood type does not effect whether you can get a tattoo. Also, O+ is a very common blood type. In fact, its mine! Good luck with your ink work.

I have had high blood pressure since I was 14, I am 32 now, and have been medicated just as long. I also have many tattoos. I never had a problem with getting tattooed. Just stay nice and calm and remember to breath.

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.
According to Sloan-Kettering, you can donate blood 6 months after taking your last dosage of Enbrel.
