I'm not entirely sure if you're just messing with me, but this is a VERY BAD IDEA! Those inks are toxic. When it says “wash hands before eating or smoking”, they are referring to you eating food or smoking cigarettes after painting, not to actually eating or smoking the paint itself…

I'd really strongly advise you to go to your doctor, or call your local poisoning hotline to find out if you have other options. You've literally injected a poison into yourself.
