:yes i am one of the seemingly lucky ones who can do the right hand,
I can do that, too! It's taken some time to learn how -- but cones
are easy to handle, even left-handed, esp if I brace my elbow against
a hard surface like the table. Sometimes I have to brace my wrist as
well. It's not as fast as using my right hand, but sometimes the
designs are better -- probably because it takes more time so I think
more about them...
I've never had that dark a color on my hands. Oooh, aahh. Sorry it
smeared. Try scrubbing with antibacterial soaps, or swimming (both
for the chlorine bleaching action and the exfoliation you get when
waterlogged) and then scrubbing. AHA creams bleach slightly and
encourage exfoliation. But with that deep a color it;s probably
pretty deep into your skin. My palm designs never get really dark
(probably since I swim a lot), but they fade to a pale orange and hang
on for weeks and weeks. Even after four weeks of daily swimming, I
have pale shadows of former palm designs...
