What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[Pengrump]

Today I flushed some pens and refilled them and filled some other. So my hands are burgundy, blue black, black, and turquoise--after cleaning them with Inknix!

[MegWesley]

Today, I got a drop of Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses on my fingertip. I feel so happy that it is not blue or black!

[y2bd]

Hmm, somehow no ink on my hands today. But I let two people see one of my pens and I can surely say that their hands are covered in Private Reserve Electric DC Blue :roflmho:

[Dauphni]

Rouge Caroubier, Rouge Hematite and Bad Belted Kingfisher are the colours of the day.

[khymeera]

mottled black from noodler's x feather after i spilled some on my desk..ruined a notebook T.T

[goodpens]

Purple-black. I tried using an eyedropper to add some Waterman purple to a Lamy Safari converter that already had Diamine onyx in it. Aimed for a nice purple-black mix and ended up with a mess. I washed it all up and went for Noodler's Lexington Gray, instead.

Just a little Scrip Black today.

[Penache]

Diamine Imperial Purple and PR Chocolat decorate my fingers today. I need to be more careful when flushing my pens.

[ticoun]

a bit of sheaffer black from flushing my pen, and a bit of my newly delivered midway blue from filling the said pen. such a lovely color

[clmurphy]

Nikita red, as usual. My favorite ink, loaded frequently in at least one pen. I use a lot of blues as well, but for some reason don't tend to get them on my hands as badly. Sometimes it looks like I am bleeding......

[CatBookMom]

PR Tanzanite. Little OOPS! while filling my Lamy converter. Only one drop got onto the upper control keys on my keyboard. Paper towel and a straightened paper clip work well to dry up ink from under the keys. But my fingers were very, very purple, and my fingernails may be purple for a couple of days. :embarrassed_smile:

Just re-filled my Stipula Suprema (1.3stub) with a lovely DIY mix of Diamine Saddle Brown and Maroon .... neither of which I like on its own! It goes perfectly, IMO, with the red-brown celluloid of the pen

[Mickey]

Moon Palace black, Bokuju vermilion, and Herbin 1670.

[Pens Woods]

My own mix of Montblanc Royal Blue and Mystery Black for my MB 149.

[Gallant]

Pelikan brilliant black, from a burping ED. And I have to start the tax from all over again, too!

[stuartk]

J Herbin Bleu Nuit. I wasn't careful enough about wiping off a pen after I had filled it.

[Pennata Penna]

Okay, put down your beverages first.

 

Fingers? I just got some in the eye! I was trying to refill a cartridge with a new recipe (pelikan green and faber castell black) with a dodgy syringe. Then suddenly, it squirted all over me, especially my left eye I quickly flushed my eyes under the tap for a while. Quite messed up and it got me worried a bit, but so far so good

 

Before that, I got a cut by the screwdriver from trying to fix my daughter's Pelikano cap.

 

However, earlier today at the shop I tried a NOS Waterman Man 100, and tomorrow I'll be back and buy it.

Yesterday, it was Levenger's Pinkly, even though none of my pens are inked with it at the moment. I pulled an old bottle out of my desk drawer to show a co-worker who was mystified at the idea of bottled ink, put the bottle back in my desk and promptly smeared pink ink all over the paper on my desk. Wore smudged pink fingers for the rest of the afternoon.

Apparently I need to clean the outside of the bottle. :embarrassed_smile:

Levenger Empyrean, from flushing out a pen to change colors.

Heh, when flushing my c/c Waterman one day, I ran it under cool water and then, as is my habit, blew the water through the nib from both directions. I went to work (I don't look in the mirror much) w/ Waterman's purple all around my lips and a little on my chin for good measure. A kind colleague took me aside...

 

Today it's MB's Irish Green which I'm really liking these days.
