Walnut ink
Walnut ink is an ink made from the green husk surrounding the nut of walnuts. The Black Walnut Juglans nigra is usually used. The ink may be liquid or made of crystals that are mixed with water before use. It can be used to produce stains and darken paper to make it look older.
The ink has good archival properties and was used by several great artists including Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt.[1]
An ancient use of walnut ink was to stain the hands of criminals in Romani communities.[citation needed] Once stained, it is impossible to wash off and remains in the skin for long period of time.[citation needed]
