I use the silver permanent Sharpie markers, I discovered them by accident. I thought I had bought black Sharpies but no they were silver. So I gave them the wash test and they were fine, no bleeding, nothing changed. Since it was a two pack I'm going to continue using them. When they no longer work I'm going to try the Crayola markers.

My grandsons have a cotton dress shirt that has been handed down three times to the three of them. It has black Sharpie scribbles all along the front the first boy put there. My daughter said the shirt cost too much to throw away so the child will wear it as an everyday shirt. The scribbles actually look good on it. That shirt has been washed many many times and the marks are still there.
