Yeah, parents would always complain if I had ink on me.

Why don't you try STUDYING for the test instead of writing cheat notes on your forearm?

Now there's a thought. ;)

about the same as making a crack about poking out your eye while running while someone in the same thread has had that happen to someone close to them

the deadly chemicals in the ink will seep through your skin and accumulate in your bones, turning you into a mutant.

Never heard of it causing problems, other than the potential to look really dumb and/or get you busted for cheating on a final. :p

I've had temporary (non-pen) ink on both arms. Looked pretty badass, lasted two weeks before it started fading. :)
