    Writing on hand
    Does this pose any risk to your health if you do it on a regular basis? I know that the effect on skin cancer and ink poisoning are unproven but I was wondering if anything else could happen?

    You probably would get caught out in an exam.

    Medical bizarrerie: There were periods during which I used to biro notes on my palm. There was no reaction on the hand but for some reason my cock had always turned a bit blue the next morning.

    Someone should write a paper, yes.

    I did the same and I'm still living too lol

    Also when leaving clubs they stamp your hand so you can re-enter, surely they wouldnt be allowed if it was proven to have health risks?
