What is the best pen to write on your skin?  I want to take notes on my hand so I can cheat on my test.

We suggest a washable sharpie pen since it is best suited for writing on skin. Washable sharpies are non-toxic, long-lasting, and durable, so your notes will be easy to see and stay put throughout the test. We also recommend making sure that you have an eraser or two nearby to quickly erase any mistakes. And make sure to test out the pen before the big day so you know how well it writes on your skin and how it wears over time.

It depends on what you want from the pen. Gel pens often have a bold ink color and won’t skip lines, but you may experience bleeding or unwanted marks when writing for an extended period of time. Markers are recommended for quick writing sessions since they contain specially formulated ink that is designed to smudge easily and will last up to 2-3 hours on skin.  Fine line markers are an ideal choice as the thin tip allows precise control, which can come in handy when taking notes or drawing illustrations on your hand. Lastly, ballpoints are recommended because their viscous nature allows them to glide more smoothly on skin than gel and felt tip pens so they provide cleaner looking writing with less bleeding through multiple layers of clothing.
