    Sara Palin seems to be the only one who is not allowed to do that.

    As long as it is not permanent like a tatoo or done for reasons related to avoda zora, why not?

    Even the scratching into the skin is assur, if done as a mourning practice like the Akum. What is the expression, "lo tisgodidu?" We are not to make sratim in the skin, because the avoda zara-niks did that.

    According to many teachers/ professors, writing on hands is a no-no.
