## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you remove ink?**
A: Anything with alcohol will remove the ink such as most hand sanitizers, Wet Ones wipes, rubbing alcohol. Baby oil or washing with soap and a little scrubbing will also work.

**Q: How do these pens work? Does it write directly on the skin, or do I have to draw with the markers on some kind of tattoo paper provided?**
A: Sorry for delay. The pens are meant to be written directly on skin. We have one product with a temporary tattoo but the included marker can be written on skin. All of our inks are made with FDA compliant colorants.

**Q: How did this marker work out with sunscreen on the skin? Better to apply sunscreen before using marker or after? Thanks!**
A: We recommend marking the skin and then applying sunscreen around the mark but not directly over as it can remove the mark.

**Q: Do these contain any for of latex?**
A: No they do not

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated - first pen broke, replacement works fine
*by L***E on June 27, 2013*

So after getting a replacement, I am happy to put this up to 5 stars. The product really does work very well. The manufacturer indicated they were working on a new design, and that you need to carefully twist off the top on the current version. The pen writes clearly, and stays on through the entire swim meet easily. It takes a little work with soap to get it off, but that should be expected since stays on so well in water (rubbing alcohol also takes it off). I could also recommend it for marathoners and triathletes based on how well it works. (recommendation for manufacturer - for smaller kids a smaller tip could be helpful for an alternative product)(Original Review)So, I am torn in writing this because at the first swim meet it worked awesome, worthy of 5 stars. However at the second meet, we went to pull the top off and the entire top of the pen came off, spilling ink everywhere (my daughters entire leg was black for the meet). I would love to recommend the pen, but since it failed I am rating it as two stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than Sharpie, better than old school eye black
*by S***O on October 16, 2013*

This product worked quite well for me. Lasted through multiple 4-10 mile mud runs with minimal smudging. I did side by side tests and the Sharpie marks were almost non-existent at the end of a race, but this product showed hardly any wear. Yet, with a little soap and water it came right off. No adverse effects or any sign that anything was there.My only complaint is that the mechanism for loading the pen tip with more ink is a little touchy and can drip if you're not careful. Best to do this on a different surface than that which you are marking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great, didn't
*by M***R on July 29, 2015*

Bought this for a Spartan Race. Worked great, didn't, rub off on the obstacles, or wash off in the water/mud, but came off cleanly with wet wipes after the race.Only caveat, it acts as a sun block, so what you write will be there until you get some more sun.
