Rusty has a spectacular aura aboutRusty has a spectacular aura about
"Te voy a hacer sudar tinta"
"Te hice sudar tinta"

From wordreference.com:
Este problema de álgebra me hizo sudar tinta. Estuve cuatro horas para
resolverlo, pero al final lo saqué.

Que yo sepa, se usa por todas partes. The idiomatic expression already exists in our Idioms Section, and a couple of variants are 'sudar tinta' or 'sudar la gota gorda' (where nobody acts upon another).

There's an 'Accents' drop-down menu above where you type so that you can insert the special characters used while typing in Spanish.

Correcto.

En Chile usamos "tinta china", creo que porque es la más oscura (¿y espesa?)de todas las tintas.
