Permanent Markers

Is it safe to write initials on the tag of washcloths with permanent markers?

My friend would like to know, she has a roommate, but only wants to use the washcloths and towels herself, is this safe, and will it stay on or will it come off in the laundry?

1. yes its safe, and if she uses a sharpie, it will not wash off.
2. yes, its safe. That is how I mark all of my daughter's clothing,etc. when she goes to summer camp. It will take a long time for it to wash off, but it does eventually.
3. Yes
