Is drawing on my body safe?

Question

I have heard people tell me that it is hazardous to my health to draw on myself, though I like making fake tatoos with my friends, we like to give eachother personalized designs on eachothers arms.

Getting answers from both sides..
Which to choose?
Also I got a free pen that comes off instantly with water and I got ones for my friends and they love them.
It says "Prom, a night to remember, not to regret" on it xD!

NcJay has a good point about permanent tatoos, those are very hard to get rid of, the ones you can draw on your arm with a pen will come off easier and if you want to change it, you just do.

Answer 1

I think for the most part, it is harmless, but some types of ink are more toxic than others. I don't see any problems if you use non-toxic markers or whatever. Just be careful with what you are using and you should be able to draw all over yourself. Personally, I'd rather do that than get a permanent tattoo.

Answer 2

Draw a happy face.

Answer 3

its okay once in a while, though i wouldnt even do it tooo much because it defaces your body, the look you were given for a reason, but even i have some drawings on myself, but they are small and i dont have them often. if you have them too often, especially with permanent marker, they could make you sick or damage the skin.

Answer 4

It can only injure yourself if the ink gets into an open sore or your allergic to the ink. So draw and have fun just watch open skin.

Answer 5

I never heard anything bad about it.

Answer 6

it IS bad, it can go into your skin and cause cancer, also if you get it deep enough it will go into your blood and sistem and can really make you sick.. you should probally stop it

Answer 7

sure
