I’m thinking of a science fair idea about the effects of writing on your skin. If it’s a bad idea do you have a better one?

I have acidentially written on myself before with sharpie markers, and they didn’t do any damage. I remember back in the 80s though it was the “in” thing to take an eraser and erase words in your skin…might want to check that out (but, please don’t experiment….not sure what it would do)
A person can get ink poisoning from this. Please reconsider your project . It is not worth risking your life over a science fair project.
Yes it will dull the end of the sharpie
It has to be better for you than pencil lead
Well, I ha’ve many times, but then like 5 min later I feel sick and my hand that I ahev written on goes Numb
I don’t know if it’s safe or not…but for Halloween they sell that scary make up. I sure wouldn’t try the markers..considering what the others on here said. Whatever you use..make sure it will come off in the shower and don’t leave it on too long…your pours have to” breath”.
hmmm, lets see, the fumes are toxic, so what does that tell you?
It does say on Sharpies that they conform to non-toxicity standards. Your skin has a protective layer of protein, and is not permeable, or else water, and other environmental toxins could get through. So unless you try to write on an open wound or something, it would not harm you.
If something like permanent marker ink is absorbed by your skin you are taking in whatever is in that ink. I don’t think this would kill you, but it’s not going to improved anything either. I would recommend you try something that doesn’t introduce anything unnecessary into your system.
Not unless you’re allergic. We apply manmade chemicals all the time.
I don’t know about a better idea, but read sharpies, I don’t have one handy at the moment, but I’m sure it says NON-TOXIC. As far as how non toxic they really are with the recent surges of recalls, I don’t know that either. I have a feeling it would take more than a science fair project to figure that out. I had a lot of friends in school who drew on themselves with sharpie and other things, it never hurt them.
