(5 Pack) Surgical Markings Viscot Mini XL Surgical Ultra fine Tip Markers Stencil Skin Scribes

I’m a retired Nurse Practitioner and used these in practice to mark rashes, skin lesions, etc. to allow the patient to monitor for spread or healing. Being retired, I don’t have access to them anymore and wanted to mark some areas of concern on myself. They are the same ones I used in office.

Exactly as described- they are very small miniature markers but they do the job just fine.

I had high hopes for these skin marking pens, but they turned out to be a huge disappointment. I do subcutaneous immunoglobulin infusions at home and use eight needle sites per session. I wanted to use these pens to mark my injection sites—something that helps me space them out correctly and avoid reusing bruised areas. I figured they had to be better than using a Sharpie. Unfortunately, they were completely unreliable. I only got a couple of uses out of them before they stopped working. One would dry out after a single mark, so I’d try another—same issue. I tested every pen in the pack, and none of them worked consistently. In the end, I had to throw them all away. Extremely frustrating, especially for something I was relying on for a medical routine.

These are a useable skin safe marker, However the pens either dry out quickly or lack adequate ink. But what ink was able to be used was quality and complimented my stencil transfers when touch ups or add ones need to be made before starting a tattoo.

Lining your dreams

Only 3 out of the 5 I bought worked properly. Two were completely dried out 🙃

Works as described.

These markers are horrible. They do not come off of skin so I had to use graffiti remover to get it off of my face. Only 2 of them worked briefly before drying out. Dry erase markers ended up working so much better.

Unfortunately not very good for piercing. Within a minute the dot is a cloud of blur. Will keep looking!
