What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[Left Elvis]

My answer changes everyday !

 

As of the evening, my fingertips are green from cleaning a bottle of PR Avacado. I've also got a bit of:

-Noodler's Nightshade

-Noodler's 54th Mass.

-Noodler's Texas Blue Bonnet

 

Whenever I don't have my trusty ink rag nearby, I usually just wipe excess ink from my nibs on my hands for a quick fix. Delicious.

Currently splotched with a bright, Commie red, which is to say Noodler's Nikita.

[Amberjack]

DA Zeppelin Blue. A staple in my office, I usually have at least two pens inked up with it so one is always handy.

 

If my fingers aren't stained, I'll probably need to fill a pen soon.

[DonLeone]

Adjusted my Lamy Al-Star bluegreen today so it can properly pump out Pelikan Edelstein Jade green ink into my 1.1mm nib.

 

That also means I'm green-handed now.

DO NOT USE DIAMINE RED DRAGON. Sorry. Not yelling. Stating it for emphasis.

 

On my fingers, it looks like dried blood. Then I freak out wondering where I cut myself. Happens EVERYTIME. From now on, that ink gets handled with gloves. Leaky Ahabs don't help.

Earlier today it was a mix of Quink Black and Noodler's Plymouth Wilderness.

No Sir, that's not blood on my fingers, that's "Rouge Gourmand" ink by Louis Vuitton.

I made some ink sample cards so they are various blues (Noodler's Navajo Turquiose and Blue Eel, J. Herbin Bleu Ocean 1670) with traces of Noodler's Red Rattler Eel and Iroizuku Syo-ro.

How do you like it?

[Ink Stained Wretch]

Today my fingers became mostly purple, with some brown.

 

I was refilling my Parker Frontier's cartridge with my "Plum" ink mixture of a 3:2 = Noodler's Purple : Noodler's Grizzly.

 

I'm not really sure of what happened to get the ink on my fingers. I only noticed it after I started to flush out the syringe that I'd used to refill the cartridge.

 

Well, another day, another inky fingers story.

Plymouth Wilderness? Still trying to make up my mind. It's very fast drying, and the color (and fast dry times) reminds me a lot of the reformulated Noodler's Army Green (the one that Nathan abandoned in favor of the original version because so many people complained).

Today I decided to fill my Pelikan 140 with the "Penman Ruby" from Parker. So my fingers are deep red.

[Manalto]

Waterman's South Seas Blue. Oh, OK, (the uninspired) Inspired Blue. In my just-arrived, big, beautiful Sheaffer Oversize Balance (1938) with the fine point. Yum!

[Joban]

Iroshizuku Asa-Gao (Morning Glory) which is a nice blue.

The fingers are their usual pinky-white selves; my shirt, on the gripping hand, has a huge splotch of Noodler's Nikita courtesy of a leaking seal in my Montblanc 342-G. Time for a trip to Montblanc; if I win the Lottery, I'll take it to Deutschland, drink beer, and eat sauerbraten whilst it's repaired. Happy Christmas to you lot.

Sailor Sky-high and Kobe #51 Kano-cho Midnight.

 

Kano-cho is a real nightmare to get rid of....

...I'm still in Polynesia!

This morning, they're sort-of greenish; yesterday I was working on the nib of a Parker 21, not even Lava soap managed to get rid of the Noodler's Bad Green Gator.

[pelicularities]

It's either Emerald of Chivor or Kon-peki that's under my fingernail today. Not sure which. Maybe both...
