Someone is spamming a bunch of newsgroups with "Come and look at my tattoo
site". The MS newsgroup I belong to (yes I have MS) said that while they
knew this was spam not to get iron oxide tattoos because they will
interfere with MRIs. While scanning a part of the body that is tattooed I
can see there might be a problem. Will an iron oxide tattoo on say the arm
interfere with a scan of the head? My last MRI they just had me pull down
my jeans and not take them off. If the metal buttons on my jeans did not
interfere I can't see how a tattoo would. I take out my piercing before my
MRIs just in case. I don't currently have any iron oxide tattoos. Is this
poster spouting bullshit or not?
