- I had the luck to get my hands on the Noodler's Ink limited release "Catfish Cupid's Legion" fountain pen ink! This ink is a limited release of only 144 bottles! The name and label are quite on the creative side! This is a pinky red Valentine's Day themed ink. I decided to try the ink in my Pilot Custom Heritage SE in Blue Marble with the "Fine" nib. I quite like the color and think I will use it for this month to change up my usual "Writer's Blood" Diamine ink.
The Giveaway is closed.
I will be giving away one bottle of Noodler's "Catfish Cupid's Legion" ink to one lucky winner!

Pilot Custom Heritage SE in Blue Marble (Fine Nib)

Oh that is absolutely gorgeous! I love Noodler's inks, and most of my fountain pen inks are from Nathan. I love the range from red to pink in this one.
Very pretty color. I have just started collecting fountain pens. I like the Pilot pens I have bought so far. I hope to try some pinks inks soon. Great video.
I saw the ink but I didn't really notice the details on the label. That's really creative. Thanks for the video.
Nice ink, thanks for the show. I'm just back from the post office, sending of my unwanted Waterman 52V in trade for a Sailor Realo I couldn't afford. I am a Sailor Boy, and just got rid of my last vintage pen. Today I'm drawing with my Lamy Nexx filled with De Atramentis Artist Purple Ink.
your initial spatters from the syringe are so blood-like...giving me Dexter vibes :P
that Pilot nib sounds so smooth! I've been itching to try a "regular" gold-nib Pilot nib. I have my Custom Heritage 912 with FA nib which I love, but now I"m curious to try a non-flex to see how I like it. Do you have a favorite gold-nib from Pilot?
My absolute favorite pen in my collection is a Pilot Falcon but it's a hard decision! Love this ink!! Happy I found your channel!
My current favourite (also a recent acquisition) is the Sailor Naginata Togi in MF nib! The nib can produce lines of varied thickness at different angles. Buttery smooth with satisfying feedback❤
I got into this hobby of fountain pens to help me journal and now I'm loving just using new inks and nibs to bring a little color to my daily life! Thanks for showing us!
My grail pen is the Platinum 3776 with an UEF nib. I'm obsessed with needlepoint nibs and hairline strokes.
Hi Logan! Lately I've really been wanting the Nahvalur Horizon fountain pen in the color Habitat with a beautiful blue double broad nib. It is so pretty, but quite expensive for my budget!
You are the ink giveaway winner! The best way to get in touch with me is through Instagram message. But if that doesn't work for you then we can work something else out. Congratulations!
@@curatedavalon Thank you so much!!! Unfortunately I don't really use Instagram. Is there another way to get in touch?
Interesting, thank you!
Right now I'm playing the Waiting Game to get a bargain on a hard to find Sailor "Pro Gear Color" Ivory.
I've just gotten into pens. They're pretty neat! Currently using Lamy Safari and waiting on a Pilot Metropolitan
Thanks, Logan! It's a nice looking ink. I've got a medium collection of pens, with quite a few inks to play with. I only have a few stub nibs, so I've been thinking of adding some stub nibs to my collection to better enjoy the colors in the inks I've got! It's nice to see you are enjoying your inks!
FYI…the weapon on the label IS a crossbow, a modern version called a compound crossbow. The pulleys and cables make it a little easier to draw given it’s power. They don’t shoot fountain pens, though!🙂
I love your ink reviews like this. I’ll need to rewatch before bed because your voice is sooooo soothing! Loving my Leonardo pen collection right now 😊
I am loving my fountain pen experience and enjoy writing everyday. A current favorite pen is my pilot E95s that was a surprise Christmas gift. 💝
Very cool color.
What a great color! It's more pink than I thought before watching this. I'm glad yt recommended this video!
I currently have a Laban 325, a pink Safari, a Maiora Partenope, and a LeBoeuf Pilgrim with me - some of my favorite pens :)
This ink seems like a slightly darker/duller and non-florescent Qin Shi Huang and it does, appropriately, lean to the pink side. Thank you for the ink demo.
How did I miss the news about this ink? Glad to see more holiday inks coming out. I was just looking at the pilot capless SE in the green marble but that blue of your custom heritage is so good too. Decisions, decisions.
Something about fountain pens - they’re just so much fun and so many inks to choose from makes them even better. Thanks for the great look at this one.
It’s gorgeous! Love that it leans towards the pink❤
Such a beautiful combination (Pink/Red). Thank you for sharing.💗 My fountain pen situation is that the more and more I play with my fountain pens the more Vanishing Points I want....lol. I at least now know that the fine point is my favorite. Also, I am still enjoying my Pilot VP Stripes!
The ink looks really pretty. I am still on the hunt for the perfect February pink ink. One of my favorite things about his inks is the art work and names. They have been the impetus of many topics discussed in our homeschool. : )
Logan, it looks a lot like Herbin Rouge Bourgogne, which also a winey color with a shade of pink. Fits Feb. 14, Nathan knows Valentine's.
My pen experience right now is that I have too any pens ink at once I want to write with all of them. I don't think I have a favorite pen as of yet. Inks I like are dependent of how I use them.
Glad to see Nathan has been doing more with special inks for Holidays. Very nice ink for Valentines! How does this compare to Grinch Garnet??
(Not entering the giveaway - I already have my bottle.😊)
It's a pretty color, but I wish it was less pink.
Currently using a Pilot Justus 95 (F) with DeAtramentis Black Pepper ink, and a Leonardo Momento Zero in Baltic Snow (CSI F) with Birmingham Pen Co Sterling Silver.
Did you get Grinch Garnet how does this compare? I have Grinch Garnet, but was unsure if It was too much of the same to get both.
@@williamcatalano1762 Grinch Garnet is more of a magenta pink and this Cupid is more reddish pink.
@@MarshaLove0723 Thanks!!
Recently I've been haunted by a memory. Last year, after watching hours of health-related channels and jotting notes, I spilled water all over my notebook. Fortunately most of it was written in Noodler's Heart of Darkness, but the parts that were in Saguaro Wine were mostly washed out. What are your thoughts on the importance of water fastness in an ink, and have you had any similar experiences?
When I go to write something, I always have in the back of my mind, 'How upset would I be if this got wet and became unreadable?' And let that dictate which ink I use.
When I first got back into fountain pens a few years ago, I only used permanent inks, but realized that I was missing out on colors I liked more and had to expand my ink stash.
Lots of my favorite colors would wash away. Many permanent inks *can* be dull, and we have to really stay on top of the pen maintenance so the pens don't clog with dried ink.
My favorite types of inks are the semi permanent ones - they still have some of the vibrancy of the washable inks, but leave a hint of writing behind when water is added so the text is recoverable.
If my writing is journal-type, I'll use a more permanent ink. Or if my writing is more temporary but still important for a short time, I'll use the washable ink, but then take a picture of it - just in case. 😊
@@MarshaLove0723 That's a rational way to go about it. An option that I've been dabbling with has been adding a few % of a permanent black to some colors to be sure that something is left behind should the worst happen. But ultimately I think that it makes the most sense to save the brighter, less permanent colors for goofing around. Though I know that Noodler's does make some brighter inks with water permanence. I wonder if they're more prone to clogging or drying or other downsides.
@@azzgunther One of my favorite reds is Noodler's (non-permanent) Red. Noodler's inks are very concentrated with dye. If I'm using a pen with Red and put it aside for weeks without using it, the ink in the feed will get even more concentrated, and while it looks great, it takes forever to dry - like daaaays forever I've learned to use up the fill when I ink a pen with most Noodler's inks. I could dilute them with a bit of distilled water, but I like the colors as is.
Mixing inks is fun. I usually let the mixes sit in a sample vial for a several days before I put it in a pen - just in case one of the inks doesn't like something in the other ink(s). I'd rather have a bad reaction happen in a vial and not in one of my pens.
I use my pens and inks to draw. To layer without feathering, you need waterproof ink. If you want to put a drawing up on the wall, the ink best be fadeproof. To obtain both these features, I have recently switched to using nothing but De Atramentis Artist Ink. Yes, I am limiting myself to less than 20 colors, but for what I do (and who I am) that is not a problem. I still have quite a few other colors in other brands leftover, but so far I haven't been tempted to use them.
Right now I’m using a Parker 51 with a fine italic nib filled with Sailor Yamabuki
My current favorite pen is the Jinhao Dadao 9019 with a medium nib. I take it with me everywhere. I went back and got a few more. 🤭
I can't pick a favorite ink! I can say that some of my most used are: Diamine Sherwood Green, Diamine Ancient Copper, Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu Syogun, and Ferris Wheel Press The Fluttering Heart. That last one is amazing in my Fountain Pen Revolution pen with an ultra flex nib.
Noodlers red pink shade somehow more insteresting than other colors shade.
I like that color. My issue is I am drawn to sparkly inks because of the "prettiness" of it, but it clogs my pens something fierce, so I don't use or buy them anymore and I have all these bottles just sitting around. Wasting time, being non-productive inks. Slackers. Lol.
I went in the last weekend in January to get the Grinch and felt like I like the grinch better, now I am wondering if I made the right choice. I felt like the one was more pink than red so I went for Grinch
I have 2 Noodler's inks with bad experience (such as feathering and inability to clean from pen). But your Noodler's reviews make me want more. 😪
Noodler's has a tremendous range of colors and formulas, of which a few are problematic. I have 16 bottles, no problems yet.
My recent experience includes name dropping YOUR name! My son just moved to Virginia. I went to visit and stopped in at pen lovers paradise! I told her I saw you had come here a few times filming for your channel. She’s very happy you do. 😊
Put a new nib in a pen I've had awhile, a fun way to keep things exciting
