Answer 1

Well if your swallow some ink I guess.....

There is ink in markers so you could get it from them. Or if you swallow a pen or something.

You can not get ink poisoning from drawing on yourself.

Answer 2

Writing ink poisoning occurs when someone swallows ink found in writing instruments (pens).

Writing ink is a blend of:



* Dyes

* Pigments

* Solvents

* Water



It is generally considered nonpoisonous.

Ink is a relatively safe liquid, ingestion of small amounts will not prove deleterious. Having said that, just because ink is relatively safe does not mean you go and drink ink. Consumption of large amounts of ink (more than an ounce) can cause ink poisoning symptoms. The best part is even if you are tricked into drinking ink by wacko classmates, ink poisoning is not fatal! However, just after ink ingestion, one may experience the following symptoms:



* Severe headache

* Eye irritation

* Skin and mucus membrane staining



However, there’s a caveat to all this. Some inks contain tiny amounts of chemicals like phenol, ethyl glycol or xylene (usually used in permanent markers), all of which can be dangerous in large amounts, so you’d obviously want to avoid ingesting too much of them.

Answer 3

No it's not real. Think approximately it.. tattoos are ink injected below the epidermis. Anyway, no such factor as ink poisoning from writing on your self. But you'll get indignant epidermis if you're allergic to any of the components.

Answer 4

Washable markers are usually non-toxic. You are more likely to get ink poisoning from permanent or alcohol based markers and india ink, etc.
