Any ideas welcome... (Ink Removal)

[333halfabeast]

I have been working all day drawing. My finger tips are covered in the ink from accidentally touchiing the ink bowls.

So my question is, how do I get it off quickly? I am going out tonight and I don't want ink all over me. Last time I used lighter fluid and a pumice stone but as you can imagine my hands dried out. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I am in desperation mode. I have until 7:30 to look my best and it is now 5:30.


Please help me? *begs*

mineral spirits?
Ink usually will come off with soap & water but it also is drying.

There is some stuff called "Goof Off" which will remove even dried paint but it is like lighter fluid.

Mineral Spirits I can try that, it doesn't dry your hand out does it?

This is artists ink, does that make a difference?

I hope that isn't the only solution. I have a date tonight. I don't want discolored hands.

I don't think so unless it has henna in it...in which case you may have some issues with hairspray...if you do use mineral spirits, just moisturize...you'll be ok.

Anything with acetone is going to dry your skin some.
goo gone is milder than goof off but both smell pretty bad.

Indian ink. I don't think there is any Henna. I will try the mineral Spirits.

What about nail damage?

What about nail damage?

India ink is very hard to remove.
Real nails would not be harmed by either product. Both would probably remove fake nails.

It's a bit like lighter fluid... but it works on just about anything! :thumbup

Oooo... a date! Congrats!

Good. I don't have tips on, all natural, but I am sure my french manicure is going to be destroyed so I may have to figure out a polish.

or does that have acetone in it?


rubbing alchol

Yeah, this guy I met on Saturday night. I was at a club and he just started talking to me. Then he invited me and a friend out to dinner. He was super sweet. He is a widower and lost his wife to breast cancer and was a perfect gentleman. I held off from calling him right away. Well he sent a hand written card with a quote and an invitation to dinner at Nobu (he remembered that I love seafood)

And it came with this tiny little teddy bear.

Sweetest thing ever.
