Arvind,

I'm kind of puzzled about the ink markings keeping her from going outside -- how noticeable can they be? I had small markings put on my face and neck before radiation started (this was years ago, long before masks were in use), and they're still there after 18 years, but I don't think anyone has ever really noticed them.
