Hi ven,

I feel wretched, but thanks.

I would wait until after your scans to have a fresh tattoo. Some of the inks may have iron oxide in them, which can be affected by MRI. They can heat up in the machine, is my understanding. Sizzle. Ouch.

video clip - MRI and metal

I looked it up.

Hey Ven, give it some time friend. Hopefuly you ll be able to forget all about those big magnets in a couple of years time (when you are sure that your MS has been halted) and then you might as well become a Yakuza member

Hi Ven,

like Johnson says wait till after the scan,
there is a good possibility they won't give you the MRI,
not worth taking the risk of that

good luck
