What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[bigstick]

Black......black as the ace of spades, they are. Well, black as Skrip, anyway. That's pretty black.....:embarrassed_smile:

[watch_art]

I have inkdrop colors on my hand. Boooorriing. Boring blue, purple which I MIGHT like, chartreuse???, green (i've had enough of green) and Sheaffer's Red, which I like quite a bit. But I have all those colors on my fingers.

Baystate Blue, Caran d'Ache Amazon, and the mysterious blue-black that is dried in an Esterbrook J that is still coming clean. Busy day.

As mentioned in my latest post in "Ink Spill Horror Stories", my hands were almost completely blue yesterday (PR Midnight Blues).

Last night I changed the nib on my Rosetta, it is filled with a personal mix of Red-Black (waiting to get some Noodler's Red-Black), as a result I have blood colored stains on my fingers.

Not a big deal normally, but I just started coumadin therapy (blood thinners), and forgot about the ink. I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom...

After freaking out after I blew my nose...

 

Got to remember when I have odd ink on my fingers...

After an evening playing with my pens, I've got some of all of the following on my fingers:

 

Asa-gao

Baystate Blue

Ottoman Rose

Eclat de saphir

 

I consider that a good day.

Since I just showered, I'm skin colored. Tomorrow is another story, I'm getting the ultrasonic out and deep cleaning and filling several pens. Legal Lapis, BSB, HOD, PR Burgundy Mist will be represented by days end.

Private Reserve Spearmint. Just bought it today. Wow! A great color!

[Moynihan]

Three new (to me) inks arrived today (Thanks Brian):

 

Diamine Syrah.

Very rich and well named. Lush, (medium nib)

Will be ordering extra bottles.... :embarrassed_smile:

 

Herbin Perle Noire.

Similar to Aurora, in appearance & flow. (parker 51, medium nib)

 

Noodler's Zhivago.

Dark enough for a "work ink". Very nice. Stikes me as similar to "blackish" Private Reserve Avacado (medium nib).

[bigstick]

ask me tomorrow, three new ones have just arrived.......

[arikol]

small splotches of J.Herbin Perle Noir

Nice black, but I really need some pretty colours.

[tanalasta]

I filled an Aurora Optima with Iroshizuku tsuki-yo and somehow got it all over my fingers as the ink soaked through the tissue I used to wipe the nib with afterwards. :embarrassed_smile:

[Mr.Wote]

I was filling my Lamy Al-Star with Herbin Eclat de Saphir, one of my students knocked against my desk and it sloshed a bit, just enough to coat the section and my fingers. I am now a lovely shade of royal blue.

[countrydirt]

Today I am Levengered. Levenger Claret and Levenger Regal to be exact - Cross Townsend and Lamy Safari respectively.

[Northwoods]

Evergreen, Oxblood, Saddle Brown, a splash of Woodland Green. A few pens needed filling.

[LuckyDog10]

Private Reserve Burgundy Mist. It crept under my left thumbnail and stained the underside, so it looks like that nail was the victim of some horrible accident. It's not quite the color of blood, of course, but just close enough to cause a YIKES! moment when you look down.

[picautomaton]

I decided to give my Pilot Pluminix a little 'stretch of the wings' as I call it (thumbs and forefingers grip the nip and stretch the sides out a bit to get the ink flowing a bit richer) and my fingers got the old baystateblue (whispered) on them.

[bigstick]

They are BRITISH RACING GREEN and loving it! Now I have to buy an MGB!

[eldritch stanes]

A the moment i have J,Herbin 1670 on two of my fingers.

[Pops]

Noodlers Bad Belted Kingfisher. Quite nice.

[ajd]

I was cleaning and refilling night and have multi-color hands. There is some Waterman Havana Brown, J Herbin Caco du Bresil and unknown black on them.
