WILL A TATOO OR BODY PIERCING INTERFERE WITH MY 3D ULTRASOUND?

I got a phone call yesterday asking if we could do a 3D ultrasound if mom has major belly tatoos. The answer is yes. Ultrasound uses sound waves to penetrate the skin, so a tatoo would not interfere.

Belly rings usually do not get in the way of a 3D ultrasound. There are instances where they can get in the way of a diagnostic test.
