Ok, so I got incredibly curious after the oil/black pepper discussion
and decided that I just had to give this a try. I already had a cone
of paste mixed up so I just experimented with the dabbing solution.

I took about a quarter cup of the lemon sugar clove and honey mixture
that I had been using to mix paste and threw in about five or six
black peppercorns. I put this in the microwave and zapped it until it
was just about to boil. This stuff smelled *really* spicy since I had
simmered four or five cloves in the lemon juice before hand. The
paste I used was mixed with Jamilla that I got Sept. of last year and
had been in the freezer until I mixed it a couple of days ago and the
l/s clove syrup.

I did one of the Navneet designs on the back of my hand, dabbed it
three or four times with the peppercorn l/s syrup. I also dipped the
fingers on my right hand in it just for kicks. I steamed my hand a
fingers a couple of times after they were dabbed.

First, I don't think I'd use this on any clients who weren't *really*
tough skinned because it stung a bit. But for myself I'm not using
anything else. This stuff dyed very quickly. I took the past off of
the dipped fingers just two hours after applying it and they looked
like they had been steamed, wrapped and left on all night. The stain
was *incredibly* dark right after removal. I taped up my hand wrapped
in an ace bandage and left it on over night. When I took the paste
off my hand it is just as dark as my fingers were when I took the
paste off of them the night before.

I'll let yall know how this effects the longevity of the stain. I'm
also planning on using this solution to mix my next cone to see how
that would do.
