Hi everyone, can anyone help? I have a four year old son and this morning he came into my bedroom roaring like a tiger. When I opened my eyes, he was very excited to show me the tiger stripes he and his five year old sister had drawn all over him! Purple black and orange, in felt tip pen! I put him in the bath and managed to get the black and orange off, but the purple barely faded, and I was making his skin sore and red from scrubbing him! It is all over him (thankfully not his face, that was in orange and black so came off) but he has even coloured in his willy! How can I get it off without hurting him?

Did you take pictures? That's too funny! The easiest and most quick way to remove permanent ink from skin is with a spray on, mist-style sunscreen. Just spray it on the spot to be removed and then take a dry cloth or paper towel and wipe it away. (If it is not removed completely the first time, repeat and all will be well. )

Thank you! I hadn't thought of that, will go buy some tomorrow morning! And yes I did take pictures, though I made him put pants on first! Can't wait to show them to his girfriend when he is older!

This is a good way to start the morning... I just had to smile when I read this!

Good luck de-striping your little tiger! LOL!

If all else fails try a little rubbing alcohol. It'll be cold but just tell him that its magic.

He's too cute!

Thanks everyone, I managed to get most of it off eventually, thanks to all your advice! His belly button is still purple though!

Thanks again,
