Spray-on Pam is especially convenient. Seems that Sharpie ink is much more oil-soluble than water-soluble. @Virginia

Or did they get ink (especially printer ink) in their eyes? Or accidentally ingest it? As far as I know, regular pen ink is non-toxic, and you'd have to ingest a lot of it to risk anything. More info here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002791.htm Relevant quote: "Large amounts of writing ink must be consumed (more than an ounce) before treatment is needed." So unless you chew through a dozen or so pens a day, I think you're ok to write on your hand with a regular pen :) @Ruth: they got ink poisoning just from writing on their skin with a regular pen?

None of them write on their skin with anything anymore, and yell at anyone they see who is doing that. I think the skin safe ink makes this To-Do Tattoo a cool idea.

Whenever we go out to places like amusement parks, we always write our contact info on my now 5 year old's tummy and he is trained to raise his shirt if he gets lost. We usually use Sharpee's and he complains that it's still there days later. I'm thinking the pen maybe easier to write with on him and would be easier to remove when we get home.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. @Anita, I have never worried about the safety of a ballpoint pen on my skin either. Although I do write on the back of my hand, or my wrist, as others have mentioned, since it washes off the palm too fast. @Julie Bestry: LOL Thanks!

I would hope that people would wash their hands well after using the washroom. :) Perhaps if one NEEDS to use this product, the arm would be more appropriate.
