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.

∙ 14y agoIf the needles are sterilized and the shop/artist doesn't reuse ink, then you can safely donate blood per American Red Cross Guidelines.
You should refrain from donating blood for at least one year from the date of the tattoo, if the artist is not following these regulations. The possibility of Hepatitis (and a few other blood borne pathogens) acquired from the tattoo artist's needle would exclude you from donating blood.

∙ 14y agoA fresh tattoo is seen as being a large open wound. The ink can get into your blood stream and "contaminate". That's what I was told at the blood bank last time.

What are the side effects of tattoos?
One side effect is regret- When you get older, the tattoos become smudged and don't suit you anymore.This can lead to expensive removal, or new tattoos to cover them up. Tattoos can be addictive and sometimes leads to a body covered with them- and more regret. they're also very painful, and I have heard of people getting addicted to the pain.Of course, blood borne diseases can also be a risk,and they can also affect your chances of employment, especially jobs where you deal with the public in person. Tattoos have negative connotations (mostly wrong) for many people, who over- associate them with crime and prison.I'm talking mostly about tattoos on obvious parts of the body, such as the arms,hands,neck, and face.Discreet tattoos are not a problem in that regard.

What does a tattoo mean?
It's a bit played out that tattoos have to have "meaning" to them. For the most part, tattoos are skin decoration and little else unless you are getting it for tribal purposes related to religion, but in a way all tattoos have some kind of meaning to them, but it is usually only relative to the person that is wearing it.
