What are Temporary Tattoos?
Temporary tattoos are fun designs you can put on your skin. They last a few days and then wash off.
Did you know? Sometimes, the stuff in temporary tattoos can react when you have an MRI!
Temporary tattoos have different inks and sometimes metal.
Metal reacts to the MRI's strong magnets. This can cause blurry images.
If there's metal in your tattoo, the MRI might not get a clear picture of what's inside you.
Doctors will ask if you have any tattoos before an MRI to make sure it’s safe.
If you have a temporary tattoo, tell your doctor. They might check it or ask you to remove it.
It’s easy! You can remove a temporary tattoo with a bit of soap and warm water.
Once the tattoo is off, you're ready for your MRI without any worries about blurry pictures.
