Fess up! I know we all do it. How many of us choose a particular ink because the bottle was really really really pretty. What was the last bottle of ink you got because you thought that the bottle looked gorgeous. Mine was this bottle...it sits on my desk so pretty

I haven't tried one of these pens, but they look so pretty with all the different colors, especially the blue. My favorite thing about these pens is that they seem to be entirely acrylic, unlike most Chinese pens that are heavy brass which I dislike. It's also possible that the barrel is turned from a solid blank, and not injection molded? Is the pen worth buying? http://www.ebay.com/itm/rare-Vintage-Quality-goods-HERO-Wing-Sung-Fountain-Pen-2007-Plastic-rod-green-/111040374531?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19da85a703

Boy gosh, I sure would like a rich royal blue celluloid or acrylic pen with bold crimson red veins. It would be my designated royal blue pen, and I'd put royal blue ink in it, and it would dry to show rich blue coloring and have a crimson sheen. Yes, I would really like a pen like that. Its color name would just be Royal Blue. I'd love a Noodler's Konrad with that color. In fact, I'd love several of them. (The Royal blue Lamy Safari's blue was not a rich ultramarine. It was just sky blue. Not good enough) But as for colors I'm very glad exist, I'm super happy that The Zuni Ahab is like jeans, with ink stains and gold threading. I pair it up with Diamine Denim, and it was always meant to be. The pink tiger is interesting. I initially got it just because it was on sale, and fortunately I got one with a really good nib. It reminds me of a strawberry desert dessert, with the strawberries and whipped cream, but the black part is like licorice, and I don't think licorice would go well with strawberries and cream (but IDK, I never tried that combo). I would recommend the black part be switched to brown, because chocolate syrup would be more fitting on strawberries and cream, and it wouldn't have such a harsh look to it. And also the black clip on the gray Safari is too harsh against the matte 20% gray. But the black clip looks excellent on the charcoal Safari. And the two of them do make a good pair. What if I switched the black clip on the Gray to a chrome clip? Maybe I should try that sometime. so you can go ahead and blah about what pen colors you'd like, do like, or think could stand to be different.
