ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for marking the proper location of incisions to be made during a surgical procedure and for coloring the skin. The apparatus includes a pinwheel with a plurality of marking points extending therefrom for penetrating the outermost layer of the epidermis. A reservoir supplies a marking agent so that as the penetrating member penetrates the epidermis, marking agent is left within the epidermis, thereby leaving a dotted line which may be followed when making incisions during surgery. The method includes penetrating the outermost layer of the epidermis and leaving marking agent between the outermost layer of the epidermis and an innermost layer of the epidermis.
