Writing on a blank CD, DVD, Blu-ray with a Sharpie Fine Point marker

Is it safe to use a Sharpie Fine Point marker to write on blank CD, DVD, Blu-ray? Forever; I've been using a regular Sharpie Fine Point marker to write on the top of blank media. I never had any problems or damage from my discs that I can think of. However, I was reading online that this can damage this disc(s) overtime. Is this true or false? What do you guys and gals use to write on blank media?

Happy New Year!

@John Tsioumpris
Its not that complicated...just go to any store and ask for a marker for CD
I did and they pointed to the regular Sharpies.

I went to a couple retail stores and I couldn't find any markers that are made specifically for disc media.

@Alan
I have used Vivid and / or Sharpie since the 90s - never had an issue with either.
Me too.
