Pigment-rich, waterproof, and lightfast – what’s not to love?

Great news: my amazing pigment-based waterproof ink works perfectly in a fountain pen as well as the Lumos. This means UV rays don’t stand a chance; nothing is being dulled here! You can confidently lay watercolours or other inks on top without fear of bleeding.

Made in the UK, this ink rivals the finest American, Japanese, and German equivalents.

  • Each bottle holds 50ml of this lovely ink, enough to keep you going for reams of writing, drawing, or doodling.
  • All our inks are water-based, acid-free, non-toxic, and vegan-friendly.
  • Each ink comes beautifully presented in a stunning bottle with an antique laid paper, gold-foiled label.

Our fountain pen ink is compatible with all Tom’s Studio Pens, including calligraphy (the Flourish, Carrot, and Bloom), fountain (the Studio and Studio Pocket), fineliner (the Lumos and Lumos Mini), and the Wren.


Pigment Black dries a matte charcoal black. It's worth waiting a couple of hours before applying washes over the top of the ink to be sure that it is completely dry.

Be sure to cap your pen when not in use. Please do not store your fountain pen for long periods of time with this ink, as it may clog the feed. We recommend rinsing your tips out weekly.

Even when capped, ink can evaporate from the tip leaving it a little dry. If this happens just dip in a little water and scribble until you see the ink flowing again.


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.

We aim to process your order within 1-3 working days. Please note that this increases to 1-4 working days for orders that include any personalisation, such as engraving.

Fountain Pen Ink 60 Black

I use this for pen and wash sketching and it remains waterproof beautifully. It’s a lovely ‘real’ black too.

I bought this in conjunction with a Tom’s Studio fountain pen. The ink is every bit as black and water proof as advertised. I have tested it as line work prior to applying water colour and was not disappointed.

Perfect for watercolor work

For years I've been searching for the perfect refillable pen and an waterproof ink that I can use with watercolors. Now with the Lumos and the 60 Pigment Ink I have found the perfect combo for my illustrations.
Couldn't be happier.

At last, a waterproof ink that’s actually, well, waterproof! And black… ink is black!

Beautiful rich black, properly waterproof ink

As a watercolour artist I was looking for a waterproof black ink for a little line and wash work. Unlike Tom's Studio No.1 ink, which disperses wonderfully in water, the 60 is very nicely waterproof and' unlike some other inks that say they are waterproof' there is no bleeding after waiting the few seconds for the ink is dry. When laid down I found it to give a rich dark black that was waterproof within a few seconds of being applied to the paper. Ideal for line work that receives a later wash of colour, or vice versa depending on your style. As it's from Tom's Studio I have the additional security of knowing that it's a suitable ink for use in my Pocket Pen as well as my Lumos Pro fine liner. Tom's Studio also gives me the confidence to use this ink knowing that it's been made, and packaged, with a minimized environmental impact. If I could give it 6 stars I would.
