Default Darkening Stainless steel?

Is there any way to darken the SS? I have tried permanent marker, but that
wears off quickly.



You might google bluing stainless steel, e.g.:

Stainless of course is more resistant than regular steel but can be
blued and I doubt if dog dishes are of high quality, i.e. high
passivity, of high quality stainless.
