Can you get ink poisoning from drawing on your skin with pen?

Can you get ink poisoning from drawing on your skin with pen?

I was wondering cuz one of my friends say you can from your skin absorbing the ink. Which if it did, then wouldn't not be able to come off?
I swear it's safe just as long as you don't ingest it.

I've never seen anyone get it myself, but I can remember someone once mentioning that someone they knew had got it. It's probably only a special type of ink that causes it, I don't know.

no you won't get ink poisoning just dont write or draw on any vains or cuts but either way you would have to take in a giant sharpie worth of ink for it to harm you
