At the moment, the stains are Noodler's Blue Eel and Noodler's Gruene Cactus Eel, with a trace of J. Herbin Stormy Grey 1670.

BTW, don't try and fill a snorkle by pretending it's a cartridge.

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

You… syringe-filled the snorkel? By sticking the syringe into the tube? Pics or it didn't happen!

My left hand is covered in the residue of Levenger Shiraz-the weird dark pink undertone and none of the beautiful color. :crybaby: I know that I can't do 2 things at the same time, but I keep trying.

Yeah, really. The mind just... boggles....

As for me, the colors du jour are Quink Black, Iroshihzuku Yama-budo, and a touch of vintage Skrip Permanent Royal Blue, from filling the pens I either got recently or had serviced at OPS (the sumgai Parker 41, the blue pearl Laidtone Duofold with what I think is an OM -- and semi flex :excl: -- nib, and the Touchdown Cadet I won in a contest on Fountain Pen Day, respectively).

And then there is some really *bright* but unidentified turquoise ink from flushing out the other pen I got in Ohio over the weekend -- a black Esterbrook LJ with a 9284 nib (and apparently a good sac) -- that turned out not to be entirely flushed clean when I bought it.... :huh:

Confirmed on the weekend past --

Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue really is washable off fingers.

Faux Penman Sapphire #9 isn't. I still have some embedded in a crack in a fingernail six showers later.

They have blue and green, as I got the Diamine Shimmertastic Shimmering Seas and then swabbed the Emerald of Chivor as well when I couldn't help but show off my new ink on FB. The amazing part (to me) is I managed to get it on the front of a finger.

Arrived in London. Inks spewed into the ink bag. Went to Harrod's and saw quite a collection of Visconti pens. Then went back to the flat and decided the inks wouldn't wash themselves out. Turned out to be just Ottoman Azure. The cap came loose somehow. Looked at first worse than it really was. So ... blue fingers for a little bit today.

Today I'm good (for the time being, anyway -- been doing more needlework related stuff than writing). But yesterday....

Yesterday was Noodler's Myles Standish LE. And when I washed my hands, the blue came off but there was still the magenta/purple undertone.... :huh:

I think it's *mostly* gone....

Not now, but recently when trying to nail down Ambers Noodler's Inkyman Sapphire, the Navajo Turquoise washed off, but the La Couleur Royale didn't. Interesting shade of purply fingers.

I managed to not get any Pilot Tsuki-yo on my hands at all last night! But then I preceded to switch a nib, and got Pilot Asa-Gao in an amount that has not washed off yet. So, pale blue fingers...not too bad!

Brown...I think?

Which is interesting, because here's the same ink doing the instant chromatography thing before soaking through the tissue to give me inky fingers:

And yes, it really does look like an impressionist painting of pansies!

 

I have no idea what this vintage ink is or was - I'm soaking it out of the capillary filler of a Parker 61 - but I want a bottle. 😻

As kids, some girls wanted to be princesses. I wanted to be Morticia Addams. Or Nikola Tesla. Preferably both.

      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
