>        So, can a person with tattoos get an MRI safely? 

    The answer is yes. There is a program on Discovery channel named
    Mythbusters and they take urban myth type questions like this and
    try to prove or disprove them. They recently tried this one. The
    answer is that the only tattoo compound that reacts to MRI is the
    Iron oxide inks and in the quantity used in a tattoo they have no
    effect. You need to have a huge quantity of the stuff under the skin
    to have any reaction. So in their words " Myth busted"
