What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[RPB]

I'm really enjoying my Iroshizuku Tsukushi in my Heki-tamenuri Dorsal Fin v2. Awesome colour and ink. Just goes so well with the pen.

[Lou Erickson]

Mixed inks for the first time. I've got Asa-Gao, Namiki Blue, and very probably some Blue Ghost. And some Noodler's Fox. Very silly.

Had a little accident with Ku-jaku today, resulting in getting quite a bit on my hands.

Carefully watch that. It may grow legs and try to strangle the pets....

[Newjelan]

Pilot (Namiki) Blue, Visconti Sepia and Noodlers Zhivago ; because no matter how hard I try, I can't manage to fill a pen without getting ink on my fingers.

[Kuscer]

Pink; my Parker just decided to give up on me :'(

Black Swan in Australian Roses... I can be soooo clumsy sometimes, it's a wonder my desk is not covered in ink stains.

I thought I was being careful in my inking endeavours, but I started to notice not to long ago that I was getting ink on my hands even when not cleaning or inking pens up. Lo and behold, I wipe my desk because I spilled a bit of tea on it, and the towel comes up with a rainbow of ink residue!

 

As for today, no ink on my fingers.. yet. But I'm going to be putting some OS Gregor Mendel in a Hero pen, and I imagine that I'll manage to paint myself somehow.

I have a bit of Noodler's 54th Mass on my fingers, with a dash of Waterman Absolute Brown!

[Mishka5050]

Lamy Turquoise....that Lamy 2K is technically a water pistol lol )))

[Elyptic]

Right now? They appear to be a blue / black (in thanks to some Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher and some Noodler's Black).

Hee... someone needs a snorkel...

[TeaHive]

The last two days have been pen-cleaning days. I have faint traces of almost every color I own on my hands. And some nice bright smudges of Black Swan in English Roses and Diamine Bilberry, because I was flipping through some notes just now and apparently inks with sheen like to smear, even when dry.

[Thier.]

Filling my Jinhao Porcelain with Parker black, I dropped it too deeply in the bottle ... Result : 2 black fingers . Cleaning my Parker 75, a little bit of Waterman Inspired blue went through the tissue .... Result : blue on 3 fingers.... Total = 2 black and blue fingers and a third one just blue ....

[unimpressed_llama]

Baystate Blue and Avacado Green.

Baystate Blue and Avacado Green.

 

That's quite a combination.

[penswordnoassemblyrequired]

Ancient Copper. And my needle fell off the syringe and into the bottle and I'm unable to get it out.

Color me not a fan of Diamine inks today.

tweezers should work, just rinse it off afterwards.

I was replacing the spring of a snorkel this evening as the old one was rusted. I was putting it back together and pushed the plunger down, forgetting that it still had ink in it. So my fingers are clean, but there are splats of Quink Blue-Black with solv-X down my leg and all up my landlady's curtain. Doubt I'll be able to get that out, so it's lucky she's been talking about replacing them soon anyway.

LOL! Not funny, but in my mind, the visual was brilliant! Try some Amodex, it takes ink out of fabric.

 

As for my ink...I have only 5 fingers with Levenger Amethyst. Tried a syringe to see if it would work with my cartridges and it was just a BIT too big.
