Question

Is it permissible to use a temporary ink writing on one's body?

Answer

There is no need for one to write on the body. Hence, one should refrain from writing on one's body. Apart from this, writing on the body resembles people who put tattoos and write things on their body.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
