What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[framebaer]

Usually my fingers are covered with Waterman Blue Black ( the ink we test and tune pens with) , they ARE covered with that ink but also interestingly there is a large dollop of Everflo True Blue!

 

BTW, True Blue is the closest thing to the old Penman Sapphire I have ever seen, and it's washable !!!!

 

 

But I reveal too much, too soon...

My fingers are covered with a combination of Noodler's Nightshade and Bad Blue Heron. Lovely actually...

After filling my L2K with Diamine Violet a few days ago:

Edit to add: I don't always take pictures of myself with inky fingers. I took this one to show it to my friend Aaron (who is here on FPN) one of the ink colors we traded. He was amused.

Today they are the lovely shade of Noodler's Zhivago, tomorrow...who knows ;-)

Noodler's standard brown. My copper Estie with the 9550 nib bleeds ink into the cap at the slightest provocation (the nib it too close to the inner cap, so it touches if you aren't careful, draws ink out all over the place).

 

I usually only have ink on my fingers when I'm working on pens -- almost impossible to keep them clean while handing pen parts no matter how much the pens are flushed. Ink from using a pen is quite rare, I'm both careful and use mostly Snorkels and Parker "51"s, neither of which is prone to ink escaping to the section.

Had some Poussière de lune on my hand (just a tad), then was refilling some 1670 ink and thought I got in on my finger...nope! This time I had actually cut my finger (just before with a utility knife while opening boxes)....lots of times I saw red fingers and thought it was blood, this time it was the opposite! Is that funny that now when I see red on my fingers my first thought is that it's ink? That's like when you learn a foreign language well enough that you start dreaming in that language (okay not just like that, but you get it).

A nice splotch of Iroshizuku asa-gao on one finger

[GardenCity-NY]

Pelikan Brilliant Black... although it's kind of gray on my finger at present. I'd made a quick gesture in a meeting this morning and the ink shot onto the table... I blotted it with my hand quickly before anyone could notice. I waiting for the day that happens and it winds up on someones shirt!

[zwingtip]

Waterman Blue-Black. Because today I found out that my father hadn't cleaned his Lamy 2000 since I bought it for him (2 years ago)

[Jaco]

Waterman Blue Black - the one I use when studying.

[Shangas]

I regularly get ink on my fingers...frankly, I feel quite naked when I don't have ink on my fingers!

 

Today's selection is Pelikan 4001 Black.

Vintage Skrip green on RH thumb, forefinger and middlefinger.

Please, no-one start a "What-colour-is-your-shirt-pocket" thread.:embarrassed_smile:

I have the remnants of a relatively large amount of Diamine Majestic Blue on my fingers. I had a slight mishap filling my M200 yesterday and walked around for a bit in my office asking my fellow attorneys to represent me in my upcoming case. My offense? Murder of a Smurf. They pop like Blueberries.

 

Once I washed my hands and applied waterless hand sanitizer, I am left with a blue-green stain that's pretty faint. It almost makes me want to do a water resistance test on the ink to see if the same result occurs on paper as on my skin.

[Northwoods]

Heart of Darkness and Woodland Green, today. My fingers look like they are lost in the deep wilderness.

[777]

Diamine Poppy Red yesterday! Iroshizuku Kon-Peki today! Most likely Noodler's Squeteague tomorrow!

I regularly get ink on my fingers...frankly, I feel quite naked when I don't have ink on my fingers!

 

 

Amen!!!

Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku this morning (although only a few small streaks) which was later eclipsed by some weed pulling--and a long shower.

[rudyhou]
