Troublemaker Inks - Testing some of their most popular and unique colors

[@ShahriarFarkhan]

Nice review. I have Abalone in my Pelikan M1000 EF, it's a sweet dark blue and the nib is so wet it counteracts the dryness of the ink. It's interesting how some inks are better tailored for certain pens. I love these inks but the ones I bought are quite dry and un-lubricated. Kelp Tea was the most dry. If you add some White Lighting, it will make them wetter and adds some lubrication.

Nice! That sounds like a great pen + ink combo. And yeah, I should check out white lightning!

Nice ink selection. I wasn't aware of this brand. I think I like Kelp Tea most of all, it's quite an unusual colour.

[@aidanbernal]

It's quite unique, isn't it? I'm glad I was able to pick up a bottle!

Beautiful handwriting! Thanks for the wonderful content!

I have Kelp Tea and Sea Glass, and Abalone is on the way. I'd like to get the other one at some point. My Sea Glass shows more greyish tones, and my Kelp Tea is sometimes very pink. Unusual inks indeed!

Wow! They do look different on the Tomoe!-the character really has a chance to reveal itself! Do like their name choices too-Thanks!

Nice selection! How do you like your Ritma? It took me a couple of weeks to tune it. I’m looking forward to September where I’ll fill up my pens with autumn colors.

[@aidanbernal]

I like the ritma a lot, for what it's worth it's a nice pen. A little heavy for me but fun to use!

beautiful colors!

When I saw the word "Troublemaker" in your title, I was sure Baystate Blue would be here. I've never heard of this brand!

[@aidanbernal]

Hahaha, I can see why you would think that lol! Unfortunate brand name, in some ways haha. Troublemaker has been around for a few years, but have been actually producing inks only sporadically. Their colors are great and they always sell out fast whenever they do become available!

I like the look of sea glass! I just ordered Milky Ocean…. I’m thinking of ordering some glycerin to help with the lubrication. They are very dry.

[@jennypai1776]

Very deep purple there!

Came for gorgeous ink swatches, pleasantly surprised by hearing about vaccination 🥰 the 24 hour fatigue is a doozy though. Have you had major issues with staining from Victorina?

[@aidanbernal]

Thanks! yeah, it was a bit of muscle soreness as well but definitely worth it. And as for the ink, I've been too afraid to try it out in anything that might stain haha

[@nauci]

@@aidanbernal is it smudgy? I usually stay away from sheening inks because I'm afraid I'll get little ink fingerprints absolutely everywhere, but I'm seeing more and more sheening inks that actually dry coming out!

[@ameliabuns4058]

wow this is stunning, I wish I could have these :(
