I'm working away today, making a Tigger cake. I was in the middle of tinting some fondant black when I realized that my hands were stained... which happens all the time, and I am well aware that it's going to happen. I occasionally wear gloves, but prefer to use my bare hands...
However, what I forgot to remember ahead of time was that we are having family photos taken tomorrow!!! OOPS! My hands are PURPLE!! Here's to hoping I can get it off before then! I guess I'm on dish duty for the next 24 hours!
Just had to share with people who would really understand 
Yes, putting your stained hands on bleached water and alternating it with soap scrubbing will do wonders! CNCA is right on that.
Try some hand sanatizer. One of my students reported back to me that that helped. I also think washing dishes really helps take the colors off.
You know what? You should do a vintage family photo! A nice dress, some dainty white wrist length gloves... *wink wink* Wouldn't that be precious? 
I normally show my stained hands as a source of pride in my art, but yah, family pictures are a different story! Best of luck!
The last time I made black fondant I was working with MMF so I added the color to the melted marshmallows rather than the kneaded fondant. It looked like I was pouring tar out on my counter, but my hands didn't get stained at all.

LOL!!! That would have been hilarious!! I was picturing a lot of "Why are your hands behind your back" comments!! And yeah... normally, I love my stained hands, and take a lot of pride in them... but not so much this time!
Thanks for the tip about the bleach in the water! I've toned down to just a dull pink now! LOL
