Any pictures?

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

Splattered with BSB from when I stuck a pen too far into a sample vial this morning... :blush:

 

There's now also a nice BSB ink splash on my mouse pad. Hope it doesn't melt my desk while I'm at school! :P

So many inks, so little time...

i have no intention of memorializing this experience for posterity, á la plistumi's ink-drinking adventure.

 

And Oops!, Amberlea knows I have more ink from Cult Pens. I know that she is lurking somewhere with her pipettes and vials.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Rorher & Klingner Konigsblau ... only because I didn't carefully wipe off all of the ink from the black colored section and ended up with a blob of blue on my forefinger when I started writing with the pen.

Some sort of bluefish color. I think it *might* be Noodler's 54th MA. Which is a bit odd because I haven't used the pen it's in (my ebonite Konrad) today.

Although it does have a tendency to burp ink into the cap when there are pressure changes. That's the one issue I have with Noodler's pens -- they tend to act like eyedroppers, even when they aren't....

That would also explain it's aversion to being cleaned off my hands.... :lol:

I really have no idea about the name of that color ...... I've flushed the two Faber Castell Emotion I've bought from Ebay and my fingers are now ..... between blueish black and blackish brown with a touch of ..... I don,'t know .......

Cleaning my hands carefully did not changed the color, it's just a little bit lighter now .....

I know the feeling. I bought some used Parker 51s a few years ago. They must have contained some sort of blue-black ink. I flushed them for days until they returned clear flush. They even had a "spa day" in the ultrasonic cleaner. Every time I use them now and then clean them, some of that "stuff" still comes out.

I carried several Iroshizuku inks on a month-long trip over December, and had no trouble. The bottles are sturdy. I do advise wiping down the bottle threads and inside of the lid after opening it so that it won't seal itself shut with dried ink, but that's just the Iroshizuku bottles in general, and has nothing to do with travel.

 

Do note that I didn't check them, and didn't try and carry them on an airplane - are they too big for the TSA? I don't know.

My fingers are finger colored today, but tomorrow I expect them to be Vixen, a Behr paint color, and possibly Caspian Blue, also a Behr paint color. :)
