It had to happen one day…

Today was that day.

While filling my fountain pen, I spilt registrars ink on my leg, all over my hands and on the floor.

Registrars ink starts out blue.  When it “sets” it turns black to indicate that it has become permanent.

I got the ink off the floor (with the help of some nasty non-skin friendly solvents) but my jeans will probably remain a different shade of blue/black.  Even with a quick trip to the toilets with a bottle of 70% ethanol and a wad of paper towel!

As for my hand. I don’t know how long that will remain blue/black…
