Emma Aldenryd, 18, is known as the "human Etch A Sketch." She has dermatographia, a medical condition that makes the skin very sensitive to the touch. By using a pencil as a stylus, she can make temporary, artistic marks on her body.

The tabloid Metro quotes Aldenryd on the development of her art:

ā€˜I spelt small words and showed them to my friends as a party trick.
ā€˜People who I showed were really impressed, especially after they tried to do the same on their own skin but couldn’t do it.
ā€˜Lots of people question whether it hurts, but my dermatographia has never hurt.
