I actually really love the tattoo idea..my boys would love it.and it may give me a piece of mind.. I say may because I still don’t let my boys run up ahead..or around in a store because I am so fearful of the what if’s in life..

Thanks for the info Chuck!!

Great stuff, Chuck! I'm going to look this over with my wife tonight. BTW -- the "safetytat" badge has the wrong URL on it; the other links are okay. Nit-picky, but that's me. tom´s last blog post..But You Said...

Hello George. Thanks for stopping by and for contributing to the conversation. Great info. While I’m relatively sure xbox4NappyRash’s comment was tongue in cheek it is important to point out the health concerns. All the best.

@Xbox4NappyRash – Be careful about using permanent markers on your child’s skin. Most permanent markers contain solvents and solvents have been found to be bad for one’s health in some really scary ways… especially in children.

If you check with the manufacturers of markers sold in the US you’ll find most specifically recommend against using their permanent markers on a person’s skin. I know for certain that Sharpie warns against using their markers on the skin.

I checked the SafetyTat website and it looks like their product is designed and FDA approved for use on one’s skin. Bottom line is I’m not putting anything on the kids’ skin that isn’t made for that purpose. Your really have to research products these days to be safe.

I definitely wouldn’t trust an online vendor to store such deeply personal and confidential information. Not with all the reports of hacking and the like. I could see using the USB storage tool though. But I’d be sure to keep it locked in a safe or safety deposit box — not on my key ring. That’s just a little too vulnerable. I don’t trust passwords that much.
