How to Write on Your Hands

Anyone who’s ever tried to record a burst of inspiration in the absence of paper is familiar with the problems inherent in writing on your hand. We wash our hands frequently (at least, I hope you do!), or we sweat, or we come into contact with other materials that smudge the fruits of our genius. What if you could write something on your hand and have it stay put until you got a chance to transfer it to your notebook or computer?

The “Pen Sprayer” concept was thus born at the Yanko Design blog, and what a concept it is! This pen sprays a material that creates a matte writing surface - whether it’s on your hand or on any other non-porous material, like plastic, that would otherwise be difficult to use a pen on. Then, you’re free to write your message, and it peels off with no mess like any other plastic film. I’m frequently caught without a notebook, and one of these pens would be great to have around - especially since they conveniently clip onto a pocket or a belt loop for easy access at all times!
