ORIGINAL: MHOO314 I am curious, I see many posts that talk about soldering on collars, jewelry, reminders of the relationship--what do you do if Your one has to have medical tests? or do many of you not solder jewelry on? And what do you do about PA piercings if there is an ER visit? and what do you do about piercings and airport security? I can't speak to the soldered jewelry from experience, but in the ER, or with the EMTs, anything that must be removed will be removed. If it doesn't lend itself to easy removal (captive bead rings, barbells, etc.) they will likely use their ring cutter (a neat little tool) to cut them off. As for a PA, I get a bad feeling even thinking about having a soldering iron there. Most PAs are closed with a bead in one way or another. If the ER needs it out for diagnostic reasons or for a catheter, it will come out pretty easily. If it's a big city ER, a PA is likely not the strangest thing they've ever seen. I have 40 piercings, all but a couple in implant grade stainless steel, and they do not set off airport metal detectors here in the great white north. Stainless steel is a pretty non-magnetic metal (ever tried refrigerator magnets on a stainless steel fridge?) and does not seem to disturb the magnetic fields in the detector. Bit of a disappointment really...I was looking forward to the complimentary strip search. Tasha
