stabbed in shoulder with ink pen
Posted: 08-07-07 20:42pm

Well, I was playing with my little sister and she accidentally stabbed me in the shoulder with an ink pen. It was just enough to break the skin and there wasn't much ink in the wound. So me being a hypochondriac, I'm freaking out about this, so you guys know if it's something I should worry about or not?

Nope! I've been stabbed with pens, pencils, etc... It will leave a black mark for a long, long time, but it won't hurt you.

heheheh. Yep, pretty much! Almost all pens these days have non-toxic ink, so it's nothing to be concerned about.
