Quick Update: The marker will wear off with sunscreen/pool water so keep it handy for reapplying!
If you are going to a theme park this summer, I have a VERY quick, cheap and EASY safety tip for you.
I used to see giveaways and posts for cute safety tattoos. I won’t post a picture or link because I am NOT advertising them. In fact the exact opposite.
I’m sure you know what I am talking about, right?!
We use a plan, old fashioned (sorta) permanent marker.
quick and easy safety tip
I’m not worried about a FEW chemicals going into my child’s system. It’s not THAT often that we need to use it and it WON’T COME off. Well, it does, eventually, but it requires lots of scrubbing. I doubt the tattoos stay on that well.
One VERY IMPORTANT TIP: If you are at a water park, you may have to rewrite your number AFTER lunch, being in the water/sun all day does seem to fade it. AGAIN, it’s cheap and easy so this shouldn’t matter too much.
Did I mention that it was SUPER cheap?
Not a bad idea and like you said – cheap. We also take a full body photo of Charlie with my iPhone next to the car before going into a super crowded area like an outdoor festival, waterpark, etc. That way we have a picture of what he is wearing and looks like right at that moment.
Elizabeth´s last blog post ..My sister and Brother-in-laws Adoption process
@Elizabeth, Yup!! we do that too!! 🙂
Hi Priscilla! Of course I remember you from OLU! Thanks for visiting me. It looks like you are doing GREAT! I will be reading along. 🙂
Melanie´s last blog post ..blah!
@Melanie, Thank you!! I will have to catch up with you soon as well. I subbed to your blog, too.
Not a bad idea.
And if you need a way to get it off quickly, hairspray or acetone nail polish remover will take it off.
@Holly Ann, That and alcohol .. .forgot about those ….
I will need to remember this when we have kids. 🙂
Although, my teenage sisters have issues with writing crap on their hands all the time. I wonder if writing on them would only provoke more issues later? Maybe that’s more a girl thing though.
Jenn @ South of Sheridan´s last blog post ..I can’t believe it- either
@Jenn @ South of Sheridan, I doubt it. We told them that it was a special day and we had to make srue they stayed safe if they got lost. … they’ve never written on theirselves … other than the time Lucas got in my mascara and out it all over his face … .
