Depends on the machine, for mine No as the machine was neck down.



No, you don't, unless they are taking an x-ray of that area. If you ever do have an x-ray on a piercing you can't take out, just tell the nurse you can't remove it. I have my twins pierced, and with chest x-rays it usually causes interference. If you tell the nurse, they will know what to expect.



Nope.
