You could die from ink poisoning if you were to ingest a lot of the ink or get a whole lot of ink into your blood stream.

However normal use of ink on your skin will not cause ink poisoning.

Ink from pens, markers, highlighters, etc., is considered minimally toxic and in such a small quantity that it's commonly not a poisoning concern.

Symptoms are typically a stained skin or tongue and, although unlikely, mild stomach upset.

You can't and won't get ink poisoning from drawing on yourself as the ink would have to get into your bloodstream and when you write on your skin the ink only stays on the top of your skin until it fades.

Ink poisoning doesn't occur from drawing on your skin.

Ink may temporarily stain your skin, but it will not poison you.

You can't get skin cancer from drawing on your skin with pen ink or sharpie ink as it's considered safe ink for skin and the fact that the pen ink and sharpie ink just sits on top of your skin and does not actually penetrate your skin.

You cannot get skin cancer from pen ink as it's considered not toxic for your skin and also it does not penetrate your skin.

Drawing on your skin with a normal pen or a sharpie is not harmful enough to give a person cancer.

The ink of the sharpie or other pen only penetrates through the top layer of the skin and does not penetrate your skin like tattoo ink does.

Sharpie Ink won't and can't kill you unless you breathe in too much of it.

Some people have gotten high and passed out from breathing in purposely the Sharpie Ink but just smelling it normally when using it or writing on your skin with the Sharpie Ink won't kill you or cause harm.

You can't and won't get skin cancer from drawing on yourself with Sharpie markers.

Although you may have some allergic reactions to the ink in the Sharpie Markers but they are deemed non toxic inks.

Sharpie is not really all that bad for your skin because it's made using non toxic ingredients according to the company who makes the Sharpies.

However some people may have more sensitive skin than others and so they may get rashes or other skin reactions from the permanent marker when they write on their skin with it.

Permanent marker is not toxic on your skin although it's not really a good idea to write on your skin with permanent marker or other ink.

However you're unlikely to get sick or die from writing on your skin with permanent marker as they are made with non toxic ingredients.

To remove permanent marker from skin take some rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover and apply it to a cloth or sponge or cotton ball.

The rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover will remove the permanent marker or ink from your skin.

To get permanent marker off your skin take a cloth or sponge or even a cotton ball and get it wet with some rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover.

Then gently apply it to the ink on your skin and then gently rub the cloth, sponge or cotton ball on the ink and it should come out of your skin.

You might need to repeat the process a few times and then use some soap to wash off the ink residue.

Sharpie and other inks do come out of skin.

You can get sharpie and other ink out of your skin or off of your skin using either rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover.

Even if you don't clean the sharpie or other ink off the skin it will eventually fade away after a month or less.

To get ink off your skin you can use some rubbing alcohol or some nail polish remover on the skin.

Take a cloth or sponge and soak it with a bit of nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol.

Then gently apply the rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to your skin where the ink is.

Next gently rub the cloth or sponge over the ink on the skin and the ink should come off easily.

I've done this myself and the nail polish remover or the rubbing alcohol has always removed the ink from my skin.

Eventually the ink will come off your skin overtime even if you don't clean it as the ink does not stay permanent on your skin.

After using the rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on your skin you should then use some regular soap to clean off the rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover and remove any of the ink residue that is left over.
