5ml shimmer ink in Barrier Reef blue

Item is in stock Only 0 left in stock Item is out of stock Item is unavailable

The finest British-made shimmer fountain pen ink suitable for fountain and calligraphy pens – now in a mini 5ml sample bottle!

Dive into the dazzling turquoise waters of this ink inspired by lush coral reefs teeming with life. Refreshing and vivacious, with a silvery shimmer that dances like sunlight on shallow waves lapping the shore.

Transform the way you create with an ink colour that sets you apart!

Most pens offer ink cartridges in a limited selection of colours. I want to change that by bringing you this range of beautifully rich and distinctive inks – with no need to dispose of or replace an empty cartridge.

These wonderfully free-flowing inks come in a number of beautiful and nuanced shades. They truly are a joy to write or create with!

  • Each bottle holds 5ml of ink.
  • Each ink comes in a dinky glass bottle with a handy pipette for easy application.
  • Every mini ink is bottled by hand by the Tom's Studio team and packaged in a hand-painted cardboard sleeve.
  • All of our fountain pen inks are water-based, acid-free, non-toxic and vegan.

Our shimmer fountain pen ink is compatible with all Tom’s Studio calligraphy pens (The Flourish, Carrot, and Bloom) and fountain pens (The Studio and Studio Pocket).

Please note that Shimmer Ink is not suitable for us in the Lumos, Lumos Mini or the Wren.

Fountain pen inks are highly 'layerable', allowing you to build different intensities or colours by applying more or less ink on the paper. Please note that the colour on the label may not perfectly represent the colour achieved when using different pens or techniques.


Because the ink has such a concentrated colour, you can dilute it with a smidge of water (ideally distilled) to create watercolour-like washes and depth of colour.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
