I donated in High School and passed right the fuck out and had a horrible headache that felt like the worst hangover in the world. I didn't eat much that day
Its made me leary to redonate but I'll get around to it again.

From the American Red Cross
"Tattoo
Wait 12 months after a tattoo if the tattoo was applied in a state that does not regulate tattoo facilities. This requirement is related to concerns about hepatitis. Learn more about hepatitis and blood donation.
Acceptable if the tattoo was applied by a state-regulated entity using sterile technique. Only a few states currently regulate tattoo facilities, so most donors with tattoos must wait 12 months after tattoo application before donating blood. You should discuss your particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation
Piercing (ears, body), Electrolysis
Acceptable as long as the instruments used were sterile, one time use.
Wait 12 months if there is any question whether or not the instruments used were sterile and free of blood contamination. This requirement is related to concerns about hepatitis"

really? isnt it more assholeish that they dont pay you for the blood that they sell, they're making money and you're a 'volunteer'
Most blood centers, those affiliated w/ hospitals, are non-profit. I'm not sure how you think they could "give" blood away. Obviously, there is a high cost involved in the process. Nurses dont come cheap, sterile medical equipment is not cheap, and some of the machines used are damned high tech. I know the apherisis machine they hook me up too looks like a piece of space station equipment.
I'm sure it would be nice if doctors donated time, companies donated equipment AND I donated blood, but the only part I can accomplish is the last.

I smoke every day, multiple times.
They dont care.
They give you free juice and cookies, and a comfy chair.
Its like stoner paradise.
