Are tattoos or permanent makeup a problem for MRI?
Usually not. Most tattoos and permanent makeup are safe for MRI, but in rare cases, they can cause mild skin irritation, heating, or tingling during the scan.

Most tattoos do not cause problems during MRI, but it’s always best to let your radiographer know in advance.
