Does it matter if you've recently got a tattoo or piercing or had surgery when it comes to giving blood?

Answer #1

well afaik it does. well for one since surgery lowers one’s immune system to a crawl its advised to not give blood within a week or so since your body is producing a lot of antibodies which could destroy the blood when it’s stored… same goes for piercings but the risk of an infection in the blood is the real danger, since it has to be sterile or it could cause complications for the patient,

Answer #2

Thank you!
