Is it safe to write on egg with a Sharpie?

[TX Chick Noob]

Here's my question. Is it safe to write on an eggshell with a sharpie permanent marker and then eat it later? I wanted to label the eggs I have started getting them with date and pullet's name if I know who it was, and keep them for a few weeks to compare later eggs.

Thanks!

I don't see why not. I mark hatching eggs with one.amd they do fine for the most part

I don't think there is an issue. It's very common to use a pencil or sharpie to mark eggs for hatching.
