Is it true that CAT scans are like a huge magnet for tattoos?

I've seen this in fake doctor shows where people go into a CAT scanner and their tattoos start bleeding because the scanner pulls the ink through the skin...
i don't know if it's a complete myth or just with old tattoos or... idk could it happen?
 
No, that would not happen. An MRI would be dangerous if you have metal in your body (like a pacemaker or a pin in your hip) but a CAT scan is safe.
