You must wait a minimum of 12 months.  I tried to give blood and was asked when I had my last tattoo work done and was told it had not been 12 months - that I had to wait at least 12 months.

Yes, you definitely have to wait at least 12 months since last time of tattooing before giving blood, in England. That goes for body piercing as well.
