Diamine Fountain Pen Ink 30ml -Writer's Blood

Love it! First time using a fountain pen. I wanted to learn as I decided to use one to do my book signings because I only use UV ink; the cost of buying UV ink pens on repeat was super unrealistic to continue to do due to cost. So I bought a very affordable fountain pen but wanted something to practice. I specifically wanted something red, as I give hints to the readers by having certain words red in my novel, just in case I need to do a book signing event before I'm ready to write with the UV ink. This was not only the perfect shade, it doesn't run, there's no steaking, doesn't bleed through pages, and dries SUPER fast. Love it and will buy it again.

Diamine’s *Writer’s Blood* is exactly the kind of ink that reminds you why you fell in love with fountain pens in the first place. It lays down a rich, deep crimson with remarkable saturation dark enough to feel serious, yet expressive enough to give your writing character. The flow is smooth and reliable, with just enough shading to add depth without sacrificing legibility. There’s a certain drama to it, a quiet intensity that suits everything from journaling to more deliberate, reflective writing. An evocative, well-behaved ink that earns its name.

Great dark red ink! Flows great through all of the pens I’ve tried it in!

I am obsessed with this color right now!! I am using it in a medium nib Estie and it writes like a dream! I love the color and consistency. I like the price point of the smaller bottle, but find it difficult and messy to fill my piston filler fountain pen. I have purchased empty 30ml glass bottles to depot into. Worth it imo.

I bought this ink hoping for a realistic "blood red" color (for a Halloween display). A name like "writer's blood" made me think I had it, and the price was excitingly good for how much ink you were getting. Though the ink color does look nice and I will continue using it elsewhere, it's more of a purple/maroon than blood red (see attached image). I have found that as far as fountain pen ink goes, this one does stick around once it dries and doesn't smear badly. If you're looking for unique colors that will last a long time on the page, this is good ink to go for. Just don't expect the authentic "blood red" color if that's why you're looking into this one.

This is my absolute favorite red ink for my fountain pens. I actually look forward to grading papers when I use it. I don’t like grading papers with red ink, but the color of this is so rich that it doesn’t feel like a typical teacher grading ink. It also flows beautifully.

I am very happy with the new 🫟 in my growing collection. Love Diamine inks!

By itself, it kinda looks red, but next to any shade brighter, it starts to look straight up brown. I'd say this is a fantastic example of an oxidized blood, aged and dried, like what you may see on the bandaid after taking it off. It's just at that line of almost being brown without actually being brown. This is a great color for a formal correspondence where you dont want to be boring, but you also don't want a drastic color pop on the page. It's such an atypical shade that it'll stand out without standing out - if that makes sense. I'm currently using it with a vintage desk pen, and the color just matches the antique experience. There's a reason why this is one of Diamine's more popular colors. Great formula and great name. Worth adding to your ink library.

Beautiful, very smooth ink. The colour looks like dried blood, but in a refined, atmospheric way rather than something kitschy or cartoonish. It genuinely affects your mood while using it.

La couleur est splendide. Elle est plus lisible qu'un sépia et moins agressive qu'un rouge type magenta et je trouve que l'on s'en lasse moins qu'un violet.

The perfect blood red, exactly what I was lookin for

La 'sangre del escritor' o writter's Blood es una buena tinta, no de un color intenso como ir tirando al valle inquietante como el dragón Blood o oxblood pero igual un rojo muy agradable, quizás incluso lo llamaría un rojo quemado o champan.

Es la mejor tinta.
