A member asked:
Is writing on your arms with a sharpie dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is nothing harmful in a sharpie unless you consciously breath in the fumes. The nice thing about writing on the skin with a sharpie is it can satisfy your need to get a tattoo in a way that is temporary. Many regret their tattoos in the long run.
