My grandfather wrote with Higgins ink almost 100 years ago. It's a superb, high quality ink with a smooth flow. I won't use any other and makes writing with a dip pen such a rewarding experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for poke n stick tats!
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019
So do your research, do it properly, but if your gonna do one use either tattoo grade ink or India ink. Those were the suggestion I got online and from tattoo artist friends, so I got this ink. It worked perfectly and had stayed beautifully in my skin. I’ll be using it again in the future for any other PnS I do, and I might even get a little crazy and do some calligraphy or something with it, who knows.

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely love this product
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016
I absolutely love this product. This is some of the best India Ink I have ever used, and leagues above the Wal-Mart brand Daver Rowney India Ink I was first exposed to. It has a nice feel when using it and is a very smooth ink. It flows very nicely from any pen nib or brush that I have used thus far. It is waterproof so it can be used with watercolors with no smearing, as long as you do let the ink dry completely.

I will include some examples of the work I have done with the ink so far. I would 100% recommend this product to longtime artists and beginning artists.
