I cannot believe it.

 

Just re-capped my Lamy at work and punctured the tip of my left index finger. Brown colored fluid exudes from me. Never knew my bood and blue/black ink make brownish fluid. .

 

Anyway, wondered if any of you have done this?

 

Was under stress situation at my work, which is almost daily (Emergency room). I guess the best place to have an accident.

It hurts worse with a B nib!

I don't think I've actually drawn blood this way, but yes, there have been a couple of minor incidents.

 

Just as long as you didn't damage the nib. ;)

I have the tip of a pencil lead embedded in my left palm...Visible beneath the skin. It's been there since about 1970.

 

So, yeah, I feel your pain.

Thankfully it was a nib and not another sharp!

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry

I have a piece in my forearm, just forward of my elbow. It's been there since 1962.

Yes, I have stabbed my self with a fountain pen. The cap was difficult to remove, so I used a bit more pressure in tugging. Cap came off, nib went into my hand (not finger). Hurt like the blazes, but all was well and the nib never felt a thing.

I've done this, no nibs were damaged, my finger, however didn't fare so well.

 

I thought the #1 thumb tattoo machine was the Pilot VP...

Ah yes, the self-tattoo initiation ritual. It's only a question of when, not if.

You didn't damage the nib, did you ?

What color ink were you using ? Is it going to leave a permanent

mark ? I think that is called a "tattoo".

Of all the self-inflicted injuries of my lifetime, I have not done

this. However, I recently started servicing my own pens. I have

had some close calls pulling and inserting nibs. Will join you

soon, I think. :ltcapd:

You are lucky it was a Lamy nib which are pretty stiff and difficult to damage.

 

I look at some of my Japanese fine nibs and think jeez you could kill someone with that...

Yup, been there and done that, as they say. Odd thing is that I did it uncapping the pen. It was on tight and I jerked a bit when the cap finally came off. I overcompensated thinking I was going to hit my monitor and jerked back then stabbed my index finger. It hurt my pride more than my finger. :(

Maybe a VP or Fermio should be in your future, or one of the Monteverde retractible inkballs.

 

I've got a pencil lead in my left forearm from 1974 or there abouts. I was stabbed by a class mate.

Hey, I have one of these too! Mine has been in my thigh since about 1981 (had a pencil in my jumper pocket and got up from the table too quickly).

 

I've recently stabbed myself with a Waterman XF nib, but nothing that drew blood. Spot of Racing Green is still visible, however.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
