Myth: I can’t donate if I have tattoos.

Here’s the Truth

There is no donation deferral for getting a tattoo in a regulated, state licensed facility. If you are unsure if your facility was licensed or if your tattoo was applied outside of Texas, you may need to wait three months from the last touch up to donate. Contact Donor Notification at 817-412-5603 or DN@carterbloodcare.org to learn about current eligibility requirements.
