What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[PhiBiSoLa]

I have some Noodler's Turquoise on me, because some curious friend discovered that there was a tiny cap that was hiding some kind of rotating thingmaknob on my Noodler's Konrad. Of course he fiddled with it and left it there.

 

I later casually uncap the pen to be surprised by nearly all of the ink to be in the cap! No one was injured, but my fingers sustained heavy damage! :roflmho:

[FoszFay]

Iroshizuku Kon Peki

Iroshizuku Tsuki Yo

Iroshizuku Yama Budo

 

Received the latter two inks today (thanks Engeika) and decided to go crazy testing them in different pens which were all (3) filled with Kon Peki, and kind of got in a bit of a mess.

 

All good, my hands are all bare now and I didn't do anything to them, and it is only like 4 hours later... Weird.

Tiniest smudge of Private Reserve Dakota Red on my fingers.

 

Running the risk of getting Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher on my fingers since the Waterman Expert II holding that ink, is acting up a bit. Perhaps it's time for a good flush and clean.

A little bit of Florida Blue from cleaning my pen without the snow cap of Mont Fuji...my large Sailor 1911.

[marigolds]

Dragon's Napalm. I waved an old Wearever flat-top too enthusiastically and it barfed on my hands AND my tank top! :roflmho:

I must be some sort of mutant

In 13 odd years (which I realise isn't long compared with some) I've never been prone to inking my fingers just from filling a pen and I've never knocked a bottle over

Although my daughter has sitting on my lap

Maybe these are famous last words

 

Obviously fiddling with an unrinsed pen is a colourful exercise, that doesn't count

Got some Diamine Blue Black (R2) going on today from when I filled last night. There was a little Noodler's Walnut too, but it is pretty well washed out.

[Avalonia]

Noodler's Blue Eel. The pen I was using was a wetter writer than I was expecting, and it took me a while to find a blotting paper.

[Penne Stilografiche]

my hands are always stained with montblanc midnight blue ink.

[Unky]

Noodler's navajo turquoise from my Ahab.

And now you can enjoy it all day long...

 

Bit of Iroshizuku Asa-gao for me, when my nib caught a fiber as I was writing in my journal last night.

Sheaffer Red

 

Not only did I fill a leaky Chinese pen with it, but I bumped the jar as I tried to dock the cap to it. Good thing I was over the bathroom sink.

[whitelily]

I think the question should be: "What colour is your forehead today?" Let´s just say I had an accident while filling a pen that wasn´t co-operating with me today, and the ink of choice was orange...erm....

Earlier today: about 10 different inks from my very first shipment of Goulet samples. But it all came off when I did the dishes...except...See, I have this spot of slightly weird skin on my middle right finger. Supposedly it's eczema. Normally it looks like the rest of my skin, but it holds on to stains really tenaciously. So right now, and for the foreseeable future, I'm sporting a big ol' splotch of Bay State Blue.

 

Update: As the odd bit of skin is pretty much like a callus, I took an emery board to my Bay State Blue splotch and it took it right off. Yay. Then I got to work and took out my brand new Platinum Preppy eyedropper loaded with Dragon's Napalm, and it leaked all over my hands. I look like I waged a battle with a bottle of mercurochrome and lost. Add to that the fact that Noodler's Squeteague is creeping all over the nib of my Targa and I've accidentally touched it a few times...ugh. Hopefully, this'll learn me not to use untried pens and combinations on days that I have important meetings.

A nice haze of Laywine's (deAtrementis) Aubergine on my thumb that has survived a pumice scrub and doing the supper dishes.
