I am doing a project, and I need to go around for 2-3 days with positve words written all over my body (the visable parts, anyways) including the face if possible. It is going to be hot, so sun screen and sweat are both issues. What can I use? Prefferably without a week of looking all smudgy. I can reapply the words each day is necessary, but I would rather avoid it...

Thanks in advance.

  1. SHARPIE WOMEN!!!

    or another pen!??!


  2. How about trying Henna?  This is temporary , but, lasts for a while... and can be cleansed off over a few days.

    . What is Henna? What are Mehndi, Mehandi and all those other words?

    Henna is the Arabic name of a bush of the botanical name, lawsonia inermis. Leaves are harvested from this bush, dried and powdered to make henna powder. The paste made from this powder, used to dye the skin, is henna paste. The pattern on the skin resulting from the application of henna paste is called a henna. If you have henna patterns on you, you have been "hennaed". Since many countries from the Atlantic coast of Africa to Malaysia use henna, there are many other words for both the bush and the adornment; though in every country, the plant and the skin pattern are known by the same name. In India, there are several words for the plant and the art, because there are many languages and dialects in India. Since the words in these languages were not originally written in a Roman alphabet, there is a great deal of difference in translation of the word from those languages to English. Mehandi is the translation favored by several companies who publish henna pattern books in Delhi and Mumbai. Mehndi is a translation favored in Hindi. There are over 20 variations of the word for the henna plant and art that have been used in publication...all are equally correct.

  3. henna tattoo ink.

  4. Definatley Henna tatoo ink. Because even when you wash your hands and shower, The ink will remain for up to 5 days.

  5. Henna, is a paste used for designs that actually stains the skin, you can find kits sometimes on line or in certain stores,  Sharpie is good too but in my experience it washes out in a few days, same with paint, you may want to consider rewriting everything every morning after showering if you decide to use sharpie.

  6. i'd use sharpie ! your project sounds amazing though !!!

  7. permanent marker

  8. tattoo urself :P

  9. you can use henna tattoo but it'll stay on for a couple of weeks unless you are lucky and the henna you use is old so it'll get off after a couple of days!!!you can buy it and tattoo your self or you can go to a tattoo studio and they'll do it for you really cheap!! it does not involve needles it's like dust and you put water in it and it's like mud!!! after a while all the water goes and you wash the dust off and it looks just like tattoo
