Surgical marker

A marking apparatus comprising:

• an inner housing configured to be rotatable;
• an outer housing around the inner housing, the outer housing comprising a channel in an inner surface of the outer housing;
• and
• a plurality of writing nibs mechanically constrained in serial alignment within the inner housing, each of the plurality of writing nibs comprising:
• a projection configured to be disposed in the channel in the outer housing;
• and
• an ink-filled writing tip independent from each other nib from the plurality of writing nibs;
• wherein the ink-filled writing tip of the plurality of nibs are aligned such that an ink-filled writing tip of a forward-most writing nib extends away from the remaining writing nibs in the serial alignment, whereby the writing nibs are removable from the serial alignment, such that removal of the forward-most writing nib exposes the ink-filled writing tip of a next-in-line writing nib through the opening at the proximal end of the housing.
