Permanent Markers

Is is bad to draw vivid permanent markers on skin?

My children do it all the time!

1. no at all
2. it can be...writing on the hand a few times, but not too often is fine, but if done extensively, it gets absorbed into the bloodstream and can cause problems. i'd recommend not letting your kids do it. good luck! =)
3. Not really, but a lot of it on skin can give rashes. Also, (but very rarely) it can get absorbed in the skin. I wouldn't let your kids draw all over themselves, so try to stop them whenever you catch them drawing a lot on their skin. If they just do little doodles, I would let them slide.
