There is no easier way to feel good about yourself. Make a note in your diary in just do it.

How long ago did you try. Tatoos are a concern because of the needles but I think you can donate a certain time after the tats.

Good for you. Just ring up and make an appointment. They will really look after you and you feel so good about yourself once you have done it
