Not sure how I missed this thread before now.  But it sure has been entertaining.... ;)

Another vote here for Herbin 1670 Nude which isn't that far off from my skin tone (some of the other suggestions were too tan/brown looking).  Of course I'm now wondering if the OP is even still on here after all this time....

In case the OP does ever comes back - or any future reader would like to have this same question answered, the review (with pictures) of Herbin’s 1670 ‘Nude’ ink can be found here.

Therein lies the question: does anyone know of a fountain pen ink that is similar to a light Caucasian flesh tone?

 

Take a look at Birmingham Copper Head.  Again, it may need a bit of diluting, but it's a good foundation to start off with.

I do work as a professional mermaid and I am working on writing a book that goes with my character.

 

I am writing the whole thing out in calligraphy and I also plan on doing the illustrations with fountain pen ink.

 

I will be using a few other mediums here and there, but where I can I intend to use ink.

I am a little doubtful if one exists, as it would likely not be useful for writing, but if anyone would know, you guys would.


Your doubts are well-founded. What you want to do is dilute an existing brown ink.
