Dermatographia
Dermatographia, (also known as, “skin-writing”), is an inherited form of uticaria, (hives/rash), that afflicts 4-5% of the population. When a person has dermatographia, their skin is very sensitive and will become inflamed from the slightest provocation, including being rubbed or even slapped. It will eventually return back to normal in most cases. The cause of dermatographia is unknown other than it is histamine-related, and it is a lifelong disease that sometimes subsides as sufferers age. The below left photo is of dermatographia sufferer and artist Ariana Page Russell, who uses her sensitive skin as a canvas to create masterpieces. You can read more about her/that here http://www.visualnews.com/2012/05/14...-special-skin/. Wow! So maybe some possessions weren't what some thought they were.  · |

Re: Dermatographia
I do that on myself with my Nintendo stylus for a laugh, write childish things, and it can last ages!

Re: Dermatographia
Ripley (The Believe It Or Not guy, not Sigourney Weaver's character) had tons of pics of this one woman who allowed people to use her body as a message canvas

Re: Dermatographia
I wouldn't have thought of Sigourney. Did the woman advertise on eBay or Craig's List like the guy who was renting advertising space on his head  |
