They were developed to imitate the look of tatoos for stage and screen, come in dozens of colors, will hold up for about a week with reasonable care, and are NON TOXIC FOR THE USE INTENDED. Ive been using them for several years, and like them lots. They also have metalics/pearl that are fun to color in your design. The smallest size is just like a fluid eyeliner bottle with a "brush" included. And the smallest size is very affordable, around $6 or so. Ive purchased larger bottles and refilled the eye liner size. apply to clean, dry skin. Let dry, then powder lightly to "set". Ive used corn starch, baby powder, eye shadow. The shadow leaves a lovely luminous line that can be irridescent. Then, re-draw and re-powder if you want. Remove with rubbing alcohol and elbow grease.

I also couldn't get a straight answer on ingredients on the colored one's because black, green and red are not a natural henna color. You can use indigo with henna but I was wanting to make sure it wasn't the PPD black. They are pretty much really expensive sharpie markers.

Non-toxic does NOT mean it is safe to use on your skin. If it is safe to use on your skin it will be marketed as such. I'm a henna artist, and I have to explain this one all the time. People love to doodle on themselves with strange things.. but think about it. What's in a sharpie? What's in a gel pen? What do they do to paper, fabric, etc.? Are you comfortable with the idea of that stuff entering your body through the skin? Me... not so much. I'll stick to plant dyes.

I always just used henna. I just had a look on ebay, typeing in 'Body Tattoo Pens' and it came up with a whole lot of things called Henna Penna which looks really good as well. Not as sparkly as the other ones, but they have a few diffrant colors as well. The Pens are double ended with a thick and thin nib. I think they would work quite well! Altho they would take a little longer for the Henna to dry. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HENNA-PENNA-Body-Art-Tattoos-Henna-Pens-Original_W0QQitemZ110267943498QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110267943498&_trkparms=72%3A984|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1318 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:16:02 GMT http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/16b01167-b9ae-4ec6-bf11-2f27243da7aa#3039b695-3839-49e8-a69b-eb88448001e3 Amanda 2008-08-07T20:16:02Z http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/16b01167-b9ae-4ec6-bf11-2f27243da7aa#70d9329c-3ae1-48ec-9de7-3c8ecdc18cb8 As per the Sharpie markers, I received the following official response: Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us and for your support of Sanford products.

Sharpies are toxic. And the toxins they contain are transdermal, which means they will go right through skin. While it will not make you noticeably sick to draw on yourself occasionally with sharpie, repeated exposure is where it gets you, because the toxins don't leave the body. In fact they just hang out in weird places because they won't enter the bloodstream. Sharpies are listed as non-toxic for 'normal use.' Which does not include writing on skin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpie_(marker)#Removal_from_skin Fri, 22 Feb 2008 03:30:06 GMT http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/16b01167-b9ae-4ec6-bf11-2f27243da7aa#09c41638-b80d-49de-bda6-c17d4271a61c Soseneda 2008-02-22T03:30:06Z http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/16b01167-b9ae-4ec6-bf11-2f27243da7aa#97e3c9e8-c245-406c-b8ed-451a3a50649e Sharpies!

Most of them are non-toxic because of kids. And while your mother always warns about toxic inks leaking into the blood stream it rarely happens. Most of the time, it can't get far enough into the skin to do that. It sits on the first few layers and comes off in a couple of days if you can't scrub it off.
