Subject: Permanent body marking?
Anybody ever have this happen?  See my avatar <----?  This pic is from the Mountain Man back in mid-July. I had the number '76' marked on my arm. During the course of the event, I got really sunburned. After showering later that day and washing the marker off, I now had a bright white '76' emblazoned on my arm. The number has tanned more over the summer, but is still a different shade than the rest of my arm.

While it has grown fainter, I still have '76' on my arm almost 2 months later.

I'm still sporting a 1215 on my arm from my Swim in Hawaii a week and a half a go.

It's actually been a desire of mine to find a way to market custom sunburns & tans to girls who would like unique designs & numbers on their backs and arms.

Even better was after the race, we went to Maui for 5 days of chilling and heavy drinking. I saw a guy in the lobby, limping along when we checked in, with his number nurned into his arm as well. We shared a knowing smile.
