I always used rubbing alcohol...gets just about any ink right off.

HEHEHEHE I would love to be able to help you. This made me laugh b/c I found out a few years ago that permanent marker has an SPF of like 120!!! I wrote on my arm at a festival and when it finally wore off I had tanned around it so I still had lines on my arm, suntan lines!!! LOL Have you tried Skin so soft or baby oil ? Just a thought......

Gwen has marked herself up a couple of times. Saturate a cotton ball with baby oil and start rubbing. It will take most of it off, the rest will come off in a couple days. I used alcohol to take it off the walls and that worked well, but I used baby oil for skin.

i swear i don't work for her and she doen'st pay me off in soap...

but danicas sleepy scrubbles baby soap gets sharpie off skin.

ask me how i know

i got on line one night after zoey drew ALL OVER HER BODY in black sharpie marker asking my friends wth i should do. Danica logged on and told me to use my sleepy scrubbles on her. I threw her in the tub and started with my washcloth and bar of soap and it ALL came off. i swear !!!

zoey doesn't use sleepy scrubbles anymore...she uses whatever scent of danicas we're using now. But i always have a bar in the house for marker emergencies. lol

Thanks all.. After a long swim in the pool most came off. I may have to get some of that soap just in case I ever need it again!:-) I hope I won't

My 2yr old joshua has just done the same thing the baby oil took it off him and i used nailpolish remover on the furniture and that worked really well.

A mashed banana takes permanent marker off a child's skin. My son woke my husband and I up one morning with permanent marker all over himself and I was trying to figure out what to use to take it off....I gave my son a banana to keep him occupied while I thought and pretty soon I noticed the banana was turning black so I mashed it up and rubbed it over the marker and he was clean faced in no time flat.
