Id ask your mom. But I would guess that that part of your finger is almost dead, but I dont know much about liquid nitrogen.

That's not blood, that comes with a burn. Since liquid nitrogen is cold you have sever frostbite, the black is dead skin. Why would you play with liquid nitrogen with bare hands? But it is fun to play with, I admit that.

my buddy dropped liquid nitrogen on the tip of his thumb... gone now... went all black, then one day he woke up and it was gone. and it is frostbite... or i believe they call it cryogenic burning. liquid nitrogen is usually about -200 celcius, hopefully the drop was small enough that it didnt cause any deep tissue damage because then your whole finger would die.

you should have dipped your hand in it, then put a stick on it. Hmmmm, hand-on-a-stick ice cream.

really depends on how much you have of each! if you hade like a dogs shit sized amount of lava, and an unlimited amount of nitrogen, i bet you could make a warm rock.
