What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[bernardo]

Just a lil' Monteverde touquoise this time...

[PAKMAN]

Diamine Twilight Blue

[Pengrump]

Right now, Organics Studio Jules Verne. Filled my new FPR Dilli with the flex nib and didn't wipe the section off enough before trying it out. For some reason I am more likely to get blue ink on my hands than any other color. Any reason for that besides the fact that I more different blue inks than any other color? Hmm, probably not.

Purple Mojo today

Montblanc Racing Green!!! Filled up the green Esterbrook J with a broad 2968 nib. I still have about a 1/2 bottle of MBRG left but it was a really good ink.

Private Reserve Sherwood Green put in my green Esterbrook with a stub nib - it shades nicely on both paper and fingers.

Noodler's Black Swan Australian Roses. I made the stupid error of forgetting to empty an eyedropper before I got on a plane, and deserved the drenched pen case and apparent case of leprosy I ended up with as a result.

 

The stuff does not wash off the hands easily. I discovered the slip-up about five minutes before a meeting when I picked up the pen and unscrewed the cap without looking, and despite a vigorous scrubbing in the office kitchen with a scouring sponge, people in the meeting still asked me what was wrong with my hands. The middle finger on my right hand still looks as if it has undergone a particularly nasty burn.

Same ink for me today , I cleaned a Red Estie before shipping it off to its new owner.

I got tired of the ink stains, and started using latex gloves when cleaning pens. Still have an occasional accident though, like this morning when I opened my Noodlers Nib Creeper rollerball and forgot to burp out the air. Now I have PR Super Violet on my hands. A little amonia should fix that in a hurry.

Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki

 

One of my favorite deep blue inks.

[inkstainedruth]

The worst part is it's under my thumbnail, but don't worry, when I hit it with the driver's bit it poked a small hole, so the pressure doesn't build up......

 

Now if it would just quit oozing...

 

As far as ink, a bit of Pelikan blue (great for work!) but most has washed of at this point...

Ouch!

I did something similar a number of years ago, only in my case it was getting a window slammed down on my finger. Under the nail was black and blue for about a 2 months.

Ink today is Organics Studio Charles Darwin.

My mother was discharged, following a short stay at the hospital. I drove her home, while my brothers packed her things from the hospital room -- clothes, slippers, flowers, "get-well" cards. When we gathered to unpack, I found two extra bath towels (?), a large canister of disinfectant wipes, and 1-1/2 boxes of rubber gloves. Ex post facto : my fingers are clean, and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

(They are lucky my bros didn't take the furniture.)
