Adding to Cart Added to Cart

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!

Choose a 50ml bottle, or try the colour first in a 5ml mini sample.

  • Each bottle holds 50ml of ink, enough to keep you going for reams of writing, drawing, or doodling.
  • All of our fountain pen inks are water-based, acid-free, non-toxic and vegan.

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

Please note that it is not suitable for use with our fineliner pens (the Lumos and 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.

Watermelon

I purchased this ink at Paper & Pencil and it is my first Tom’s Studio ink. I have an Archer & Olive journal and the color matches the cover almost perfectly. The only issue I have with the ink is that the shimmer doesn’t really show up in the writing. I am using a TWSBI with a medium nib.

Ansiado mostaza

Un color precioso aunque me encantaría tener la opción de la misma tonalidad pero sin brillo.
Difícil encontrar una tonalidad mostaza.

Beautiful shimmer and vibrant color

This ink is absolutely beautiful. The color is vibrant and fresh, and the shimmer adds a lovely depth and glow, especially when the light hits it. I’m very happy with this purchase!

Zero shimmer

I tried the ink with two different nibs and with both nibs there is zero shimmer to be found… very sad

Gold - Not as dark as Shown

It's not quite as dark as it's shown with just one pass which make it a little less usable for something like a felt tip. It is very lovely otherwise with a shimmer that shows as you tilt the paper.

Gorgeous shimmer to this ink. I have had a little issue with the flow when using a zebra G nib when no pressure is applied but otherwise I love this ink.

Nice colour but not sure it's worth the extra cost

I bought this to try in my Wren, initially there was some subtle sparkle to it but after about a week I'm not sure the sparkle is very obvious any longer. I think I'll stick to the non-shimmer inks next time.

Beautiful Ink

I have no complaints about the ink but would prefer it if the name of the ink was on the wee bottles rather than just the packaging. The little sticky labels from the packaging fit so I transferred them all.

Nice, and shimmer not too much

Works nicely in fountain pen. I used pilot 92. Easy to clean out.

Watermelon ink

This is a beautiful soft red colour with a vibrant gold shimmer. It glides on to the paper and the wider the pen stroke the more the gold shimmer is visible. I am really enjoying using it.

Beautiful gold. Hard to do it with an ink. Well done

The prettiest ink I own

I bought two of the shimmer inks (Stellar and Amethyst), and they're both fantastic. Amethyst is the loveliest shade of purple with ample amounts of shimmer. I'm sad that I have to use up the ink in my fountain pens before I can fill them with this ink. Truly the loveliest ink I own.
