The message
from Kay contains these words:

I don't buy that one! Someone tells me that if I want to enter a show, I
am going to have an ink stamp, which I don't want, on my hand. And then
I have to worry for the next several hours about keeping my hand away
from my clothing?

Whenever I've had a hand stamp, it's been on the back of the left
hand. Not a part that comes into contact with clothing much, IME.

Easy to rub off on to shirt cuffs. And dirty shirt cuffs look pretty
slummy - an indelible stain on a shirt cuff would make it unwearable for
smart use.

If someone is going to insist I have my hand stamped, I reckon they also
have a duty to make sure a) that it is washable and I don't have to wear
the mark for days to come b) that it isn't going to cause permanent
damage to anything it comes in contact with, such as clothing.

If it's non-permanent, washable and easy to remove from skin, it's
likely to be the same on fabric ?

One would have thought so.
