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.
