Without more information this is a difficult question to answer. Are you writing just a few numbers or letters or an entire sentence or more. And yes you don't want to lick your hand and then shake hands or anything of that manner. Is what you have on your hand written before the presentation. If not how are you going to write on your hand without your audience knowing? And if it is written before then the billet and ditch would work better. Certainly you can provide enough distraction to ditch a piece of paper. And if writing during the presentation then you are looking at a swami or some other simiar device and if you can pull that off certainly you can again ditch the item.
What is happening around this moment. It seems from the brief tidbit of info that you really need to look at what is happening before and after as that is where all the dirty work is happening.
If you really need to get the 'ink' off your hands, perhaps a cleaner on a clean rag that you would use to wipe your hands at some point during the show in front of everyone. A time and a reason can be created for this purpose.
Unfortunatly in this craft, not everything is cut and dry, even when the question sounds easy.
And now with the new fangled smart watches can you not just type what you want into the watch? Of course I can't afford the new iwatch but hey, it is a possiblity.
