Exactly.
Hydrogen Peroxide as sold in the drug store or medicine asile of the supermarket is just 2 or 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. When it goes in your mouth it tastes almost exactly like water. It'll start foaming as it reacts with the tissues of your mouth, the saliva, and any germs or plaque in there.
Essentialy it's a very weak bleach, and most living things have enzymes in them that release the extra oxygen from the H202 Hydrogen Peroxide molocules which is why it foams when you use it on cuts or as a mouthwash. Keep swishing and a little bit of the free oxygen will also break down the blue ink molocules stuck in your teeth.
Hydrogen peroxide does sort of taste nasty in your mouth eventually, but it's only afterward from the dead bacteria and the dead layer of epethial cells cleaned off the inside of your tounge and mouth. Regular brushing, mouthwash, or eating will get rid of it quickly.
If you did swallow it, you're not in any real danger. It'll react with your throat and stomach, and any contents of your stomach and will neutralize before you do any real harm to your tissues. But it will foam up and make you vomit and be generally unpleasant. (Getting a poisoned dog to drink a few teaspoons of Hydrogen Peroxide is a trick to get it to vomit anything bad in it's stomach…)
