1. True.
Also goes for body piercings. I got kicked out by the Red Cross for a year because of my throat piercing. But when you think about it, it does make sense.

Khash.

2. Absolutely makes sense
The bloodbanks cannot possibly keep track of the sanitary conditions of the piercing and tat places.

I am on a permanent ban...I had lymphoma...no donating for me.

3. Fuck, woman!
I watched my sister die of lymphatic cancer. Yeah, you do get banned for having had chemo or for having survived cancer. And it does make sense.

I never knew that about you. But thank the gods you survived to be the qirl we all love and want to spank :)

Khash.

4. I had it in 1987
no recurrences!

But I am at risk for other types of cancers, because of the treatment. I figure every day above ground is a good one!

5. Oh, I am so sorry to hear about your sister.
Cancer is a rough way to go.

6. I don't think "having too many tats" is relevant to that, though...
It only takes one, right?

Of course, to me, one is too many, but it's a free country, and I know a lot of really nice tattooed folks...

7. No, but it was a copycat
and would not have flowed will the other way.

I am a tattooed woman!

9. Actually, my dear KW.....
The rules on tatoos have been changed.......

NOW, if you get a tatoo, and can tell the health historian (the person questioning you) that the tatoo parlor is licensed, then it is OK...

I believe that every state has rules about this, and the Red Cross is aware of those rules...

So things are different now......
