It depends on how you are using them. If you are drawing on yourself, you would need about 8 sharpie worth of ink to get skin poisoning. If you are sniffing them, too much would result in insufficient oxygen to the brain, which could kill you. If you are eating them... You would die.

They are considered non-toxic for "normal uses" Sharpie is not meant for skin but is not dangerous.It would take over an ounce (about 29 milliliters) of ink from a Sharpie to cause a reaction, and if a Sharpie is used on the skin it generally won't cause an immediate or obvious health effect. The only time that the ink from the sharpie marker would have any reaction to skin would be if the person has an allergy to a type of alcohol

Sharpies, like any other permanent marker pen, are non-toxic to the skin when used appropriately. On the other hand, when you expose your skin to a lot of Sharpie inks, it can cause minor skin irritation and some health risks.
