How do you go through life with nails that long. Really asking, it's always baffled me how they don't constantly get in the way of anything you're trying to do. Seriously, it seems like they're only useful for clawing things out, rending flesh and making defiantly dramatic gestur--

ohhhh...
How did I never know that 666 in Roman numerals was just descending letter values starting with D? That's very cool, and makes me wonder if that is part of its origin.
I mean… seems like you just need to poke a hole in each finger of a tight rubber glove and then dip your hand in dye. You might try something like henna or India ink rather than clothing dye though.
Most of the dye will be in the dead layer of skin and will naturally come off in a few days. Scrubbing will accelerate it but can also make the skin raw.

I'm supposed to believe they were somehow wearing gloves and dyeing clothes with those nails?
Maybe it wasn't the dye that ate through the gloves?
Well, guess why the gloves didn’t manage to keep the dye out.
Yeah, you just put cotton balls in the tips of the fingers and boom, gloves don't rip
That makes sense, though I'd still be concerned about the nails breaking when having to manipulate wet (and therefore quite heavy) clothes.
Ah the Roman numeral tattoo is 666

TIL, too, but it makes sense. Romans used 5 a lot so with 6 being just one number higher, you get that cascading one removed in the digit.
DCLXVI also sounds pretty cool. Middle school me would have loved to go by \666DCLXVI666// or some such nonsense, lol.
Ashamed to say I had to look that up. I can usually figure Roman numerals pretty quick. :( I'm losing it as I age. Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
Thought that was severe frostbite at first! Glad I read through.
Ouch. It hurts to look at with that thought.
I had the same thought and I was like damn this person is going to lose those fingers
I mean if I could do this on purpose and have it come out as nice I'd try it for fun

That looks metal as fuck
What do you do when this happens? Bleach your hand?

If clothing dye got on my skin like that, I’d be having a massive reaction on my hands and it’s gonna be itchy and inflamed.
That might enhance the effect.
I just wanna know what dye was she using, I am looking for a good deep black.
