MRI facts:

MRI is the use of magnetic fields and radio waves to "see" internal organs and soft tissue, without the use of X-rays. It is safe, painless, and has no side effects. It combines the "knowledge" of a computer with safe magnetic and radio waves to create extremely detailed images of areas in the body. The strong magnetic field created by the MRI machine is used to prepare the body to emit radio "signals".

Prior to undergoing an MRI, the patient should tell the doctor that they have permanent makeup or tattoos.

"according to Dr Frank Shellock of tower imaging in los angeles, CA, a top expert in MRI safety, only a handful of people have reported minor problems around the eye area and no problems around the lip or brow area. In those rare instances when redness and oedema in the eye area occurred, it did not cause any permanent damage. Test studies have confirmed that the "iron" particles in the pigment are too microscopic to react as true metal pieces but rather are more accurately compared with "metals" which already exist microscopically in the body."
