i write on myself with a black sharpie marker a lot. i write "LOVE <3" on my arm often and then just little doodles. sometimes my friends write on my arm and i write down stuff i need to remember on my arm or hand. my friend says i should stop because i could get ink poisoning. is it true? i looked around on the internet and people say that you can and others say you cant. does writing on myself with sharpie not everyday but often put me at risk of ink poisoning?

well my frend made for me..and i liked it very much...someone please

My boyfriend likes to draw and I have seen a few little paintings which he has made.

For Christmas, I figure that he would like to have some more professional tools to work with. He is Moari so he works a lot on tribal art so I was going to buy a good set of pencils, charcoals and a sketch pad. The paintings that he made looked to me that they were made with acrylic paints so I was thinking of buying him a set of assorted acrylic colours and a good paintbrush set, as well as some assorted cavas sizes to work with.

What else might be a necessary or a good touch to what I already planned on purchasing? Any recommendations on brands to buy? Where is an inexpensive place to purchase these things from? Any other tips?

Also, do you think that this would be a good gift?
