*screams* MY KIT DOLL GOT SHARPIE ON HER FACE!!!!!!!!!!

fly-away · June 7th, 2006, 01:50 PM

I got back from an 8 day camping trip from school yesterday and my teacher is an artist (it was a school trip) and did sharpie tatoos for anyone who wanted one and I got a butterfly on my upper arm. When I returned I was so happy to see my dolls that Kit slept in my bed with me last night. I woke up this morning and soon realized.....the tatoo had rubbed off on her face somehow!!!! My mom called AG and we are doing baking soda and I have some on her face and I'm letting it "soak" sorta.

HHHEEEELLLPPP MMMMEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do the Oxy 10 and heat lamp thing. It worked great for me when my thrift store found Bitty had ink on her face and hand.

I second the Oxy; the sooner you do it, the better. (I tried it on regular ink, not Sharpie, but I think it should still work.) Good luck!

AHHH!! How scary, but I think she can be saved! Try Ozy 10. Smear it on her face thick, and let her sit under a light. Then scrape off in 12 hours and reapply.

Ozy 10 works wonders, the only problem is, it might take awhile. Be patient, she will be good as new when she's done!

Good luck!

Try OXY (the zit stuff) on her face and let it soak.

Yes, Oxy10 lotion will fix it, have no fear.

Just cover the mark with the lotion, and place Kit under a desk lamp (about 4" from a 60-watt bulb,*****her if the bulb is stronger) for a few hours. Wipe off with a damp cloth--if the mark isn't gone, repeat until it is. Also, it seems to work faster if you cover the lotioned part with plastic wrap, which keeps the lotion from drying up so fast.

Light and heat activate the bleach in the lotion, which "bleaches out" the stain, but doesn't harm the color in the vinyl. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am so sorry this happened to Kit. [img]frown.gif[/img] My dd would just be hysterical if it happened to her Kit. I have never tried the Oxy10, but have read about & seen pictures of wonderful outcomes. Please let us know how it all works out. My fingers are crossed that she will be good as new in no time.

^^ This is probably your best bet.

But first, use the baking soda as a scrub. I've actually gotten marker off with baking soda, but it takes a LOT of elbow grease and fast action.
