Seemed like a good idea at the time

Have you ever done something that seemed cool when you did it, but later you realized that it was really stupid? I spent two whole periods drawing random designs on my arm with a sharpie. It looked awesome!



And look how much cooler my raw red arm looked after I was finished scrubbing it off!



*bangs head against the wall*

i drew so much on my hand once that i actually hurt myself and now i have a scar (the pen scratched me) (it was a ballpoint pen, so think how much i must have drawn) my whole hand was red and black from that ink

I've done that before and then my friends scared me saying that I would get blood poisoning. I rubbed it all off in a hurry

Having done a whole lot of stupid things in my life, I think that there are a whole lot of things that you could have done that were way worse. At least you weren't hurting anyone or yourself by doing what you did. And at least you were able to get the drawings off, eventually.

And, personally, I think the drawings are your arm are amazing.

However, that being said, one of the really stupid things I did when I was in high school was to cut my shoulder-length hair super short and bleach it until it was just about white (I am amazed it didn't fall out). I then decided to dye it what was supposed to be "ash blonde." It was ash all right but not blonde--greenish grey is more like it. I had to go to school the next day with a head that looked like it belonged on an owl. God, was I embarassed.

I've done so many things that sounded good at the time but ended up being stupid that I've lost track of how many times I've done that kind of stuff. I've drawn on my hand too: I drew a really stupid looking snake on the back of my hand, and little smiey faces on my fingers. I later scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed, but I only managed to fade the drawings. Which meant I was stuck with them for about 2 days.

nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol would have taken it right off without scrubbing

Yep, good ole toxic acetone (nail polish remover). We use it in the chem lab for cleaning all kinds of things super good. When someone wants to illustrate a really complicated molecule they just grab a sharpie and start writing all over the glass hoods. At first that freaked me out because I was like "hello, it is called permanant for a reason". Then someone took some acetone and the stuff came right off.

If you're going to use acetone on your arm be careful. It will take the marker off, but don't scrub, you really don't want that stuff getting into your system.

Your arm looks awesome with all those drawings on it, but it must have been a pain to wash it all off. Oi!

Something stupid...something stupid...*thinks* Well once I decided to cut my hair REAL short and just have it gelled up in the back and leave two really long pieces in the front. I've seen in on girls before and it looked nice on them, but the morning after my haircut I wanted to just put a wig on. Ugh, it was awful.

You shouldn't of removed it, but rahter kept on going

Have you ever seen what that stuff does to styrofoam? It's really neat. It sucks all the air out of it, so you're left with a small amount of this plastic goo. Fun ^___^

That's it. I'm now doing this when I get home from work.

I totally and completely agree! I'm gonna see if we have any, actually...

... You know what. I think I have some styrofoam. And I'm pretty sure we have some permanent markers... *Digs around the house to find some* =o

[_jaye_]

Base, that design on your arm is AWESOME.

**kills the quote tower**

Just to clarify, it's the acetone, not the markers that dissolves the styrofoam.
