Do you have to drink ink to get ink poisoning?

Answer 1

I'm not really sure but i know writing on your self isn't gonna give you ink poison because I'm always writing on my hand with a pen but usually you get ink poison by letting it get into your blood stream.

Answer 2

Most inks now-a-days are non-toxic, in fact its been a long time since any writing ink was toxic. (The main ingredient was Carbon which is used (in its activated form) to absorb toxic poisoning.) The term ink poisoning was developed by mothers who were mainly opposed to their children drawing on themselves.

HOWEVER in the realm of tattooing yellow was always a difficult colour to come-by and for a time Cadmium oxide was used (Cadmium is toxic).

Answer 3

You can get ink poisoning by getting a lot of ink in your mouth, or if you write on yourself a lot. I hope this helps!
