They sell a colored mineral oil or mineral spirits for tinting the crackle... once the clay body is stained, it probably won't wear or wash off. But then, I'm used to a porous earthenware body.
It would certainly be more likely to stay on than inks, which are water based. This stuff is tough, you have to scrub your hands or it stains them too.
