I doodle on myself instead of picking and scratching, so when I found a nontoxic (ish) version of permanent markers Temporary Tattoo Pen, I knew I had to try them.
These babies are smooth and odorless (maybe? My nose can be funny sometimes). The color lasts a long time and there was minimal smearing (unlike the go-to sharpie, which bless if you even think about sweating).
The pictures can attest: a clear, crisp illustration of Persephone on an inner thigh at around 9pm on a very hot and muggy Thursday. The next day, after sleep sweats, workout sweats and a shower.
It lasted another workout and shower, and house cleaning, until after a third workout this morning (the following Monday) when I scrubbed it off in the shower. It took a bit of elbow grease, but it did become unnoticeable.
I’d definitely buy these if you have strict no-tat rules somewhere in your life, sharpies give you a headache or if you nervously pick at yourself when you’re idle (or anything, really. If you want to draw a mustache on yourself and go around speaking like a fictional pirate, nothing except societal pressure is stopping you).
