I'm quite sure that no one has said that tattoo's explode, but they do sometimes get uncomfortably hot, which is why they pack the area with ice. Of course all hospital policy and procedures are driven by libel issues ie: if there is a slight chance, maybe 1 in a 1000 that someone will recieve a burn from a tattoo getting hot while receiving a MRI; that person might decide to sue the hospital for not taking enough precautions to prevent that burn from happening or advising a person that it could happen. To tie that into what we do..... one of the techs that got my last recording said that he enjoyed it because it was sooo relaxing, that perhaps I should have a warning label ...... Do not listen to this while driving ........ Somehow, I'm not sure if I want to take that as a compliment... paul Ontario, Canada www.dulcify.ca At 10:03 AM 12/8/2005, you wrote: >Regarding the exploding tatoos in an MRI, the Mythbusters TV show >addressed this very myth in episode 19.
