This might be the coolest #TattooTuesday we've ever seen. Meet Giulia P. - blood donor, and owner of one epic tattoo. Giulia is O-, and although she hates needles, she got this tattoo as a reminder of just how important it is for her to give blood. O- is the universal donor, and ALWAYS needed. Shout out to Giulia P., and all of our dedicated donors who continue to serve the community by giving blood!

At a time when there's so many things we can't control, there is something that we can: hope. Being a blood donor means giving hope to those in need; hope that will help patients push through their treatments, hope that will bring families and communities together, and hope that will change lives. You are essential - you can save lives. Give hope - donate blood today: smarturl.it/CBC_GiveHope
