Ok so me and my grandmother growing up as a kid always use too draw & do crafts together.
My grandmother now suffers from stage four breast cancer and I'm wanting to get a tattoo for her.. (on me).
Instead of printing the picture out.. I was going to get her to draw it directly on me. Now the problem is my tattoo stencil pen ran out..

Down to the Question: I was wondering if you could use a Sharpie Tip pen marker for her to draw it on my arm then get the tattoo over it, is it safe?

Sharpie's won't do nothing to you. I would know this, I draw realistic tattoos on myself and others with pens and Sharpie's. That's nice, that your gettin a tattoo for you grandmother.

The thing is.. I'm not just "drawing on myself". I'm asking if you could draw on your arm with the Sharpie. whipe some of the ink of & just have that outline.. Then get a REAL TATTOO over the outline.?

First off, sorry to hear about your Grandmother, and yer doing a real nice thing. Best of luck man =)

To answer yer question, I don't think that's a bright idea. I'm not big into tattoo knowledge, but I don't think that's a good idea. You can just print out the picture, and allow the artist to use their markers to get a trace going(I've seen this in a few tattoo shows, so I assume most of them do it).

Best of luck, and that's a really nice idea. My sister got my Grandmothers favorite flow tattoo'd after she passed =)

The thing is I've heard a couple of friends actually getting tattooed with a sharpie stencil. I just wanted an answer on being "okay". I do my own tattoo's. So it's not something I can goto a shop an just ask because, not familiar with any around my neighborhood. I mean everything used in my shop is sterile. So I'm not worried on that part.. Just alot of friends I know gotten it done free handed an I never heard a problem & I dont have any stencil sheets either..
