I coloured my entire hand in different coloured highlighters. could i get ink poisoning? some parts of my hands are dry and cracked too

Probably not in U.S.: Most pen ink in the US is called non-toxic, because it is well known that kids put pens in their mouths, or draw on themselves. However, to be safe, one should buy US pens marked non-toxic, or check the manufacturer's website... especially before doing body art with them.
