My darling child has decided he wants to be a Zebra. He has drawn all over himself with a permanent black marker. Does anyone know a safe way to remove it?

I have heard you could use rubbing alcohol or lemons... I just found this online as well:
The easiest and quickest way to remove permanent ink from skin is with a spray on, mist-style sunscreen. Just spray it on the spot to be removed and then take a dry cloth or paper towel and wipe it away. If it is not removed completely the first time, repeat and all will be well.
Good Luck! :)

Sorry, tough luck. The permanent marker acts sort of like a crud tatoo ink. It sinks into the skin and actually dyes it. You just have to wait till that skin naturally wears away. One thing I have heard of though, is to use baking soda. I've never uaed it, and since it's on his face I'm not sure if you'd want to. Here's a site anyway with instructions. It's 95 on the list.

I had numbers written on me a week ago for a triathlon. They use a permanent black marker so it won't wash off in the swim. After 1 week it's almost completely gone. As long as the marker is non-toxic I would do my best to get it off by it should be gone in a week anyway.

Ajax! That is what was used in school to get permanent marker off the kids where I work! With a sponge and warm water gently scrub it off!

Hair spray removes permanant marker.... You will need to avoid his eye area but you can remove all the rest... For around the face use cold cream....

nail polish remover works. My friend owns a daycare, and thats what she uses and it works. Just make sure after you use it, to give the kid a bath. Or your home with smell like a nail salon!

When my niece was 2 she got a hold of a Sharpie and my sister used a baby wipe and it took it right off.

My daughter does the same thing, I just stick her in the tub and wash what I can off and let the rest wear off.
