Different material, but I still have a black dot in my palm where I accidently stabbed myself with a pencil and the tip of the lead broke off. I don't know whether it is a spot or a bit of lead, but it's still there, clear as day. That was over forty years ago.

I had a really stuck cap on a Sheaffer pen. I pulled harder and the cap popped off but my hands came back together and the nib stabbed the side of my finger. There was no ink in the pen but the "wound" took six months to go away.

I thought I was the only one with a pencil tattoo. I still have one from the time my 7th grade girlfriend stabbed me in the arm with a pencil after I told her during math class that we were breaking up. I have a little lead mark to remember her by, and she ended up with her first visit to jail and criminal record to always remember me by.

Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

I think we need a picture. ;) That is the only way to be sure.

 

(I can't believe I'm the first to say that!)

 

But I agree if ink is under the skin it will probably metabolize and fade. But I could be wrong.

As someone with my right arm covered from shoulder to wrist in tattoo work, let me tell you that a water based ink suitable for FP use will not stay under your skin permanently. Even tattoo ink degrades with time, and it's purpose-engineered to be permanent. It'll get absorbed and fade away. If it were india ink it would last quite a while, though. I wouldn't worry. It'll make a good story one day.

I ended up with BSB in my cleavage when a Sheaffer had a bladder problem. ARGHH My kids laughed. Thank fully I could wear a turtle neck. It looked like I'd had a really exciting love life.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

No doubt. :wub: That's why it's the EvoL ink (I love it, and recognize it's wickedness too).

Ditto

I did the same thing about 40 yrs ago. Mine is on my right forearm. Jumped up to get a pen from the ceiling [ stucco type ]

and arm met the pencil that was in my pocket on the way down.

Same thing happened to me in the 4th grade.... I liked the girl in the desk in front of me so, being the immature 9 year old I was, I teased her every day nonstop. One day she came to school with her ponytail in a braid so, naturally, I pulled it. She wheeled around and started stabbing me with her wooden pencil. I put up my hands and on her third stab the lead went in deep enough it broke clean off! Afraid of my teacher, who had scolded me and sent me to the principal's office many times before, I stifled my desire to scream and cry and just held my hand for the rest of the afternoon.

 

If I was afraid of my teacher, I was even more afraid to have my dad find out. So thirty five years later, the lead is still there!

Oh dear! When I was five, I dropped a Rotring graphics pen on the back of my hand and still bear the tattoo! Hope yours comes out!

      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
