So I went for my first ever MRI - shoulder injury, bicycle accident etc. Possible torn rotator cuff...ouch!

Anyway, the pre-screen asks if you have any tattoos and the technician warned me that my tattoo might get warm or hot and if that happened to signal her so they could stop! Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of this? I asked a woman here at work who has a few tattoos and has had an MRI and she wasn't familiar...

Odd.

i know there are some scary metals, etc. in tattoo ink. one of my faculty has worked on the "micro-encapsulated" tattoo inks with freedom-2 and when i ever read what was in the ink currently covering a lot of my body. it was creepy....but, oh well. hope that things come out well with the MRI.

oof, i hope the mri goes okay and that you don't have a torn rotator...what a pain (literally).

also, thank you so much for the comment! it means a lot to still have the set get looked at and commented on.
