What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[Thier.]

At the moment, my fingers are totally clean. Perhaps because I just left my bed 15 minutes ago ...... Well, we'll see how they will be et the end of the day ........ ;-)

Lol @Steve J!

I'm like a smurfette atm-Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher...what a better spillage than permanent ink...quality!

[Hallel]

A big dab of J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune on my left ring finger

There's been a fair amount of Noodler's Kung Te Cheng recently -- it's decided that it's going to misbehave and be cloggy. And there is still something on my right thumb from a couple of days ago (making the whorls in my thumbprint stand out) that I think is Noodler's Whaleman's Sepia -- even Ink Nix couldn't clean all of it up....

Oh, man, I hate when KTC misbehaves because it's so resilent. My hands are look clean, but my cuticles are stained with Edelstein Aventurine. UCK

I brought a small nalgene bottle of distilled water with me -- I may end up refilling the pen (one of my Konrads) directly.

Really need to actually do a controlled experiment to see how much distilled water to add directly to a sample vial with a measured amount of KTC in it one of these days. I actually prefer the color when it's more saturated (more blue violet/indigo) than diluted (more purple) but undiluted it gets cloggy and nib creep something fierce.

But I love it for when I have to address envelopes or writing checks (the woman in the bank a couple of weeks ago asked if it was purple or blue when I was dealing with some paperwork (these days banks tend to get huffy about anything that isn't filled out in blue or black, but I can get away with using KTC... ).

After cleaning & changing nibs my fingers are stained with Chesterfield Xircon, Siam & Cobalt. The grooves in my thumb print are heavily stained. Have scrubbed them twice, so next I will try some fingernail polish remover!

KTC

I bought my very first bottle of Montblanc ink to celebrate fountain pen day and I opened it up at the office. Toffee Brown, very nice. Decided to bring it home to my writing desk. Apparently it didn't like the trip because when I took it out of the box this happened.

 

Also some Sailor Nioi-Sumire from Anderson Pens.

[katerchen]

Diamine Onyx Black. For some reason it takes forever and some more to dry on the paper, so inevitably I end up touching it and get it on my hand :/

[Surei]

J. Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite and Stormy Gray.

 

I am very disappointed that I don't sparkle!

[TXKat]

Levenger Amethyst.

 

It has staying power and i cut my finger pretty good right after while opening a can or else I would have ended up with a homemade purple fingertip tattoo!!!!!

Old ink sac has been changed on a " Select " pen : hands full of black.

Newly bought old Pelikan Gunther Wagner cleaned : a few purple fingers.

Tested old "AA" and "Kreuzner" pens : stains ob blue under my nails .....

I'll look great tomorrow when I'll go working .....

[Mishka5050]

Noodler's Air-Corp

Goes with my tattoo not bad not bad...

[Helen350]

Chesterfield Emerald on five of them! Would prefer the real emerald around my finger

[sheeptotherescue]

I just filled up my Penmanship with some Sailor Epinard, and of course some ended up on my fingers. Gorgeous lovely green Makes my nib feel a little sticky though..

Filling my Porsche Design P310, a few drops of Herbin Lie de Thé felt on my fingers and ...... Jeans ...... What a pitty ! Not for the fingers and jeans but because now, my bottle is empty, reason why I tried to reach the very last drops in the bottom of it .... Missed !!!!!

 

In a few days, I should receive a new bottle of Iroshizuku bought on Ebay @ half the price I find it bere in shops ..... Come on, Mr Postman, I want to try Yama Guri drops on my fingers and jeans ...... !-)

Rouge hematite. Bit of an ink explosion.

[katerchen]

Diamine Asa Blue.

 

In hindsight, when filling a classic button filler Dufold using an ink vial, the damn thing can displace a *lot* of ink with that first press.

 

Lovely shade of blue though. Easily one of my top3.

[Newjelan]

Noodlers North African Violets because I can't seem to fill a pen without getting ink all over my hands. Yesterday it was Edelstein Topaz.
