What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[inkspot]

Diamine Denim all over. My Pilot 78G kind of exploded. Not really sure how that happened...

A mix of Pelikan 4001 Black and BSB. Can't even look at a bottle of ink without some of it getting on my hands...

[inkspot]

Iroshizuku Kiri-same, Diamine Amaranth, and Diamine Denim Blue. My Pilot 78Gs are all exploding and leaking like mad for some inexplicable reason.

I'm covered in Diamine Eclipse - a present from my brother. It writes almost black, but not quite, so you get those great purply undertones. It seems to be fairly water resistant too, on my hands at least

Cleaned out a pen today, and now I have Waterman South Seas Blue on my fingers, under my nails, and in my cuticles!

Today: Private Reserve Napis Blue, Orane Crush.

Today my fingers are still bearing the stains of an imperfect converter refill with Rohrer & Klingner - Konigsblau (Royal Blue). After drying on paper, the Konigsblau shows a purpleish hue to the blue.

I have Iroshizuku Kiri-same on my fingers - that silly exploding Pilot 78G again. I really need to fix that...

Currently my right thumb and index finger are a pretty shade of Pelikan Edelstein Topaz. As much as I don't mind having inky fingers from a cleanup job, apparently my girlfriend's 2 year old nephew does not feel the same.

 

When I arrived at her house for dinner last night, he asked me to pick him up and then upon seeing my inky fingers, he sternly pronounced that I was dirty and therefore no longer fit to pick him up or play with him.

 

He then told me to "clean hand" before following me to the sink where he watched me attempt to clean off the ink. Unfortunately my cleaning was not good enough and he insisted on helping me to wash my hand. Later in the night he asked me to play with him but at the last minute he would look at my hand and proudly announce to the family that I was dirty and that I should "clean up."

 

Overall everyone found it amusing, but he'll have to get used to it I suppose.

Just a hint of Havana Brown today.

Vert Empire, love it on paper - less on my fingers.

[Scrawler]

I have Diamine Amber all over my thumbs from trying to align the tines of my Televisor.

[Nimmireth]

PR Naples Blue. Just wrote a letter.

[Postscript]

Green. Edelstein Aventurin green actually. Thanks,

On the left hand, Diamine Bilberry.

 

On the right hand, some unknown but extremely persistent blue ink that had dried out in a Waterman Taperite that I just finished restoring. It amazes me how much dye can be left behind in a pen's feed and how long it takes to flush it out of there, even with a sonicator.

Private Reserve Sherwood Green. Makes me want to gather up a band of merry men and chase the sheriff of Nottingham...

[Ink Sandwich]

Positively 'Blurple':

Pro advice: Screw lid on before putting ink in bag.

Baystate Blue and Antietam this morning. It looks like I came to fisticuffs with a Smurf and sustained some injuries (even though I won).

Diamine Ruby red and Sapphire blue
