 blood drive + tattooI'm donating blood this Saturday. I've never had a tattoo before, but I've been planning on getting one this summer. But, you cannot donate blood within 12 months of getting a tattoo. Sooo I also made an appointment for my tattoo (which will be small on my ankle) for SIX hours after the drive.
 It SHOULD be safe, becuase the body regenerates the one pint of blood within 24 hrs, so that means after 6, 1/4 wiill be done. So is there any reason why this would be an unsafe decision to donate blood and get a tat in the same day?

 it should be ok, but if its your first time giving blood, you might not feel well for a few hours afterwards.  you should ask the nurse at the blood drive just in case, maybe reschedule your appointment for the next day.
