I don't know if you people know this before. A few years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that the reason why he does not have tattoos on his body is because he usually donates blood-about twice a year. Now, in case y'all don't know, people that have tattoos on their bodies are not allowed to donate blood because of the possibility of infections from tattoo ink. So Ronaldo had to make the sacrifice...so he can keep donating blood. Great man! .

I read more details online...here's 1 of my sources where it was reported:

Cos he is a Puzzy.
abeg stop saying what you dont know...People with tattoos can donate blood after the blood is tested..
i have done a series of blood donations.

Read more if you care. Knowledge is power
People with tattoos can present to donate blood if their tattoo was applied by a state-regulated parlor using sterile needles and ink that has not been reused. Those who receive tattoos in a state that does not regulate tattoo parlors must wait 12 months after receiving the tattoo to present to donate blood.

"So Ronaldo had to make the sacrifice...so he can keep donating blood. Great man! cool cool."

So, not having any tatoo on your body is a 'sacrifice'?

Long talk. At the end of the day we are both still saying the same thing-that is, if you do wear tattoos, you can't just walk up and donate blood! A lot of things will have to be checked, cross-checked, verified and whatever. Period!

And by the way, what you said above is apparently for the United States-we are talking about what entails across the world, mostly western nations. Ronaldo is in Europe not USA!

NO ...certainly NOT!

Maybe it's the way I presented it. I'm refering to Ronaldo sacrificing something he would have loved to do. I wasn't talking of "generally" or what applies to everybody. I hope you understand.
