Black Liquitex acrylic ink, from a TWSBI Diamond 50 ink bottle. Filled my (now probably doomed) cheap unbranded Chinese just to try how it would fare. I might be surprised by it not leaking so much anymore.

I've been experimenting with DeAtramentis Inks lately, and my hands show it. Right now there's a bit of Giuseppi Verdi, and Indigo Blue. Both are pretty water resistant on both hands and paper I'm happy to report...lol...

By the way I recently picked a jar of Ink Zap. It's a hand cleaner for inky hands. I'm really impressed with how great it works, and wonder why more people don't carry it. I found it at Indypendance.com here in the U.S. Have not been able to find it anywhere else. Anybody seen similar products?

Bluish/blackish from cleaning out old pens without using a glove. :(

Noodler's Cactus Fruit Eel landed on my thumb in nearly a perfect oval. Apparently I can't fill from the bottle without touching the inky rim anymore. But it does look nice next to lime green nail polish. :)

Brown, specifically Iroshizuku Yama-guri ;)

You are brave inker!

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

Today I had to refill my Sterling 1911 at work. My left hand and my keyboard were both sporting Iroshizuku Yama budo.

Various blue, black, green, purple, orange... I have cleaned 29 pens today :)

 

I'm impressed.

 

 

I cleaned three and ended up wearing ink.

Today it seems to be Diamine Twilight and Parker Quink Black from when I was trying to get one of my pens to work properly, swapping the nib, etc.
