Have used it on the back of paintings, never on the front.
Why not just sign in oil paint? You can even thin down
the oil paint to work with one of those lettering nibs in
a pen if you don't like signing with a brush.

I used to paint illustrated signs and do some fine lines with permanent
markers - they weren't very permanent.

Marks by a permanent marker can be erased by denatured alcohol; whereas oil
paints older than twenty odd years are impermeable to the same solvent. Thus,
your signature can be erased without removing the oil paint. Worse, alcohol is
a common solvent used in cleaning painting. This means that someone can in the
course of cleaning your painting with alcohol, inadvertently erase a part of
your signature.
If this is important to you - and it might not - then It is better to just sign
your painting with oil paint rather than by a permanent marker.

both are nearly perfectly oxymoronic.
