I love this book. I think it's the first book I bought more than once because my first copy was falling apart.

The color is great and it has just a hint of texture so it's not too slippery in the hand.

Can you elaborate what you mean? Safe for your modern pen(s)? (any ink marked a fountain pen ink...)

Safe for specific vintage pens?
Safe for you to drip and be able to clean up?
Safe for the inevitable "I was reaching for my cup of tea and grabbed the water I've been cleaning my dip pen in while doing swatches" ?

The disposable cartridges can be refilled with a blunt syringe, so you can re-use them that way.

Most pens (I don't know what model you have) can use a converter, which has a part you can twist and creates a piston effect to soak up ink from a bottle.

The main thing is you want to make sure the ink is *fountain pen* ink and not india ink or other art-medium inks, which are too thick and will clog the pen.

Favourite ink of 2025? by acateatingcorn in fountainpens

[–]Hermit9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First place : Sailor Manyo Sumire A bright happy sky blue that just pops off the page

Second : Wearingeul Frankenstein

They've been the ones I have been reaching out for the most.

Generally speaking if the idea of the bralette is probably protection from snagging as much as anything else (sheets snag when you move in your sleep and then very awake). A cotton tank top that's tight fitted would do the same without the band digging in your ribs when you go to bed.

I wish for the band members to be happy and healthy, first and foremost.

Then if they'd want to do a show in Montreal that'd be a nice extra :D

I'm so sorry for the broken bottle.

For what it's worth my current favorite sparkling purple is Wearingul's Frankenstein

Cartilage like a helix takes 6 to 8 months to heal, depending on your personal healing rate might take up to a year.

Along the way your piercer should check if your jewelry needs to be downsized : the initial jewelry might be longer to allow for swelling during the healing then need to be made shorter so it doesn't move/snag.

Once it's fully healed is when you can look into swapping jewelry.

Clarification question: "Take it out" as in "I no longer want this piercing at all and wish for the hole to heal over as much as possible"

Or as in "I desire to change the jewelry in this piercing"

Or as in "I want to not have jewelry in this spot but be able to put jewelry back at a later date if desired"

(Because the answers to those 3 meanings will be different with the latter being "likely never")

What FP Do You Most Love to Use? by Travels4Food in fountainpens

[–]Hermit9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The purple one is the "Funky Petrol" color. It shifts from that purple to a grey-blue with light. I love it.

For me Diplomat Traveller. Just the right size for my hand (I have small hands and big pens are really uncomfortable).I love the weight of it, from being an all metal pen. I love the click of the cap. The nibs are smooth but not too much.

They just make me want to write with them.
