Now a question revolves a lot in the minds of people who get tattoos done, that is whether they can donate blood after getting tattooed, then according to WHO, you cannot donate blood for 6 months after getting tattooed. Today we will tell you what is the reason behind this.
Risk of HIV r Hepatitis
The biggest reason behind this is that a needle is used again, which increases the risk of transfer of blood transmitted diseases. The ink used for tattoos also does not change, due to which the risk of HIV and Hepatitis B infection increases. Such people should avoid donating blood immediately. At present, there are no rules and regulations for tattooing, anyone can easily get tattooed at any time. As of now anyone is allowed to get tattooed, that’s why the risk of diseases remains. This is the reason why the tattoo artist is advised to get tattoo done from a good tattoo parlour, so that complete care can be taken of hygiene. After getting tattoo done, you should donate blood only after getting blood test done, for this you have to wait for at least 6 months.
