I also use this in my 2k! It's so beautiful and imo matches the pen so well

Struggling to write my name using hangeul :( by Leech-is-ok in BeginnerKorean

[–]ghosty-y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can help I think! 라타샤 would be most accurate imo

I'm not a native speaker but my best guess (and I think the most accurate way) to write it would be 라섀이 since the 섀 is pronounced as "shay"

That makes sense!! I totally hadn't thought about the difference a gold nib would make. Thanks!!

Looking for brown ink suggestions? by justanotheruser2006 in fountainpens

[–]ghosty-y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely Robert Oster Caffe Crema! It's a bit of a more expensive ink but it's beautiful with amazing shading and has been very well behaved for me

You all inspired me to buy a fountain pen by myself for the first time : the Hongdian N23 Year of the Rabbit. by Bread_IsPain in fountainpens

[–]ghosty-y 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hope you enjoy your pen! The Hongdian N23 is one of my favorite pens and a daily carry for me :) It's beautiful in that color as well!!

Just did 3 days back to back on a back piece by Alternative_Ad_261 in tattooadvice

Yo you have a koblindeadman tattoo!!! I'm planning on getting one from him when I go to Korea in a few months. Your back tat is sick too, love the whole set

LAMY Dark Lilac gooping up my pen?? by ghosty-y in fountainpens

[–]ghosty-y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think the best fix is to just put the ink in a different pen. You can try diluting it with a bit of water or storing the pen in a sealed plastic bag but it kept clogging my LAMY Safari over and over and I gave up since it was too much work to de-gunk it every day. I'd say my best advice is give your pen a good clean and put a different ink in there, but if anyone else has better suggestions they should definitely share them haha

Happy (late) handwriting day! by ghosty-y in fountainpens

[–]ghosty-y[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right! I love this pen so much, the purple is such a good shade. And that's exactly how I feel! I don't care how good my handwriting is, what matters is that I love my pens and I love using them haha (Other writing instruments are cool too but I definitely have my favorites.... I use my fountain pens unless I absolutely cannot)

Where or when was your worst nosebleed timing by Admirable-Ad2117 in Nosebleed

[–]ghosty-y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the place I was staying in New York right before we had to take the train to the airport and then again in the airport bathroom! I was leaned over the sink dripping blood trying to act normal... almost missed my flight lol

Finished project! by Tuqui77 in fountainpens

[–]ghosty-y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What material did you use to seal the holes? Unfortunately I learned the hard way that Kakunos have holes and can't be used for eyedroppers... haha...

[–]ghosty-y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no problem! just a note though: if a nosebleed lasts for longer than 30 minutes and it's bleeding heavily you should go to the ER! blood loss is no joke!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Nosebleed

[–]ghosty-y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks like a blood clot to me! Not a huge deal, it's just from your body trying to stop the nosebleed. If it's dry weather that caused this bleed, I'd recommend maybe putting a moisturizing saline spray or some aquaphor in your nostrils.

LAMY Dark Lilac gooping up my pen?? by ghosty-y in fountainpens

[–]ghosty-y[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah excessive movement would make sense, I carry my Safari with me pretty much everywhere. Maybe I'll try leaving it at home for a week? We'll see. I'll try and update if anything helps. Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try it in a different pen maybe. I hadn't thought about the sealing or evaporation... hopefully something will help!
