: Regular old crayola work great!

watercolor
: pencil. I just had to dip the tip in some water every so often, and
: it was very easy to draw on the skin. And it doesn't interfere with

I use gel pens to sketch out knots or lay out grids for geometric
patterns. They also work well and don't interfere with the stain. They
will wipe off with water or alcohol if you make a mistake. Oil takes
it off when you remove the paste. The only real advantage they have
over the watercolor pencils would be that you don't need water to
apply them to the skin.

I use a garnet colored pen to sketch out designs before I try them to
give me a feel for the finished look. I also use it for designs I show
people who let me practice on them. Helps to get the black image out
of their minds. I also use it to practice designs on skin. It washes
off easily with soap and water.

I wonder if I can still find my crayola watercolor pencils???
