PRDCSSB, every day.

 

Dr. Bonner's peppermint soap takes it off easily,

 

But this ink stains my hands consistently, other inks where much less consistent stainers.

Cheers,

PR Burgundy Mist, largely because when I opened the brand new sample vial this afternoon, it already had SITB in it. :gaah:

Today, I have a combination of Montblanc Burgundy Red, Diamine Kensington Blue, and Montblanc Royal Blue on my fingers. I inked three pens in my rotation.

Yellow (Preppy), Pelikan Brilliant Red and Diamine Sapphire Blue. I waved my Sheaffer Balance. Result: Blobs on the paper, blobs on the desk and stained fingers. What was I thinking????

Another blob under my fingernail that I could have SWORN was Diamine Midnight, but now looks like some weird shade of sapphire. I don't own any sapphire ink. :blink:

Asa-gao. Sometimes I see the advantage of cartridges. (NO. I never use or used them.)

Nothing exciting, just a touch of Noodlers Black Eell

Parker Quink Black, mixed with bits of Pelikan Brilliant Black, Waterman Florida Blue and Edelstein Mandarin.

 

What an interesting thread ... My fingers almost always have some bit of ink on them by the end of the day.

Pelikan Turquoise, Noodler's Green Marine, Noodler's Antietam Red, and Iroshizuku kon-peki.

 

I just met with a client and she was looking at my hands all through our discussion - she never asked a question about the ink stains, so I didn't say anything, but I really wonder what she was thinking!

Hmm... *peers* either Noodler's Zhivago or Private Reserve Ebony Green. I was filling two vials for an Ink Exchange and must have touched the syringe... kind of difficult to tell the two apart on a fingertip.

Asa gao. Filled a pen with it yesterday and it's still there despite many attempts to wash it off.

Yesterday I discovered that my daughter managed to catch some fabric under the lever of a vintage no-name pen loaded with Noodler's Squetague -- I managed to get it on the fingers of both hands and my left palm. Thank goodness for InkNix.

 

Although on a positive note, the section had ink on it because my daughter kept trying to use it (the nib is silky when in the sweet spot, which by chance she is normally for that nib).
