[drjeff]

I've now had 2 of them grace the chairs of my office in the last 24 hours Only had 1 other male sporting a tongue ring in my chairs in the almost 15 years now that I've been looking in folks mouths.

I could see how it could be advantageous.

I don't get that and tatoos. Especially on women and covering the whole arm or leg or more. Real turn off.

I have a strong innate sense to not drive sharp pointy metal things through various parts of my body.

You guys are funny.

Don't care... like my tribal mother's heart on my back (symbolizing my first child, which I lost in miscarriage) and tribal dolphin on my ankle (which was my reaffirming of being an individual even though I was married). Used to have my left nostril pierced but had to take it out for my knee MRI and couldn't get it back in. Have considered having it re-pierced. It was symbolic of a phase in my life, though, and I'm on a different path now...

VCH?

THats weird - you would think its far enough away from the machine. I was allowed to leave a gold chain necklace on when I did my knee MRI's

I was told I had to remove all metal--I tried. I even had to have my IUD cleared as not having to be removed, LOL!

Depends on the type of MRI machine and the size of someone! More modern, open MRI's you can get away with having gold jewelry closer to the image site without having the metal in the jewelry affect the image quality that the magnets of the MRI give. Older, "closed" MRI, need a greater seperation. Also gotta factor in that the face/neck region of someone that's 5'-5'6" is alot closer most of the time to the knee of someone that's say 6'-6'6".

When you get a metallic object in the field of view for that MRI image, it the effect that the metal has basically looks like the scene in Star Wars where the Death Star explodes emminating from the metallic object in the body - happens quite often in MRI's of the head where a portion of the oral cavity gets picked up in the image and that person has some type of metallic based dental work

Mine was just a little sparkly freckle, really.

This was not long after I got it (my daughter, who is 4 now, was 9 months old at the time):

No Piercings.

That's just me.

I don't remember our kid looking like that. Are you sure that isn't someone elses??

 

[deadheadskier]

I read that quick and I thought you said "ball rings" and I was going to agree emphatically.
