There’ll be two responses from them on that 1. They were misheard. and/or 2. The were just kidding.

So many pens. So many nibs. So many inks. So many ink colors, sheens, shimmers, scents. It. Is. Addictive.

I have it. I love it. AND I have more colors from the same manufacturer ordered.

My favorite is the chestnut brown Yama-guri.

Very nice and neat!

Dip pens are the way to go if you want to try a mix in a small container and size up from there. I bought small footed tattoo ink containers from Amazon to use for repeat dips - to avoid evaporation as I keep dipping. They also sell graduated disposable pipets to use for sorta accurate amounts in mixing. Glass pipettes will give laboratory accurate measurements, but they are so expensive. If you decide to use test tubes to mix inks, there are small vortex mixers on Amazon. 50ml centrifuge tubes have graduations, flat bottoms and a cap. You could mix and store in them.

Tha’s needs more cowbell.

“Fear” If I leave the water on in the bathtub for 4 hours and “fear” the floor in the bathroom is wet, there is a problem in my noggin.

They’re addictive to write with - especially with the variety of nibs available. Then you get into ALL of the inks! Every color of the rainbow. Shading, sheening, shimmering. Those that start out one color and oxidize dark. Then, if you have the financial wherewithall, there are the prestige, $$$$$$ pens. The habit can be whatever you make of it.
