The label on the bottle of Noodlerโs Tiananmen embeds the photo by Jeff Widener: a man on the #Tiananmen Square standing alone against tanks. On the top there is a red text: One day China will be free. Quite a statement for a #fountainpen ink bottle. [4/4]

And these photos were taken after over 9 hours since writing those words. Yes, itโs still not completely dry (the last photo shows marks on tissue) โ and you can see it does not โsinkโ into the paper. On thick lines it looks rather a scab, or a bloody paint. Itโs special.

Noodlerโs Tiananmen is an extremely wet ink, it will take HOURS to dry on Tomoe River or Midori paper. These photos show it after ~3.5 hours after I wrote those words. See the puddle of ink in the square. I use it in a pen with the broadest possible nib: the Triple Tail.

Todayโs #inkoftheday is Noodlerโs Tiananmen. Yes, it refers to #Tiananmen Square protests. Itโs a bloody red #fountainpen ink, as it should be. Itโs thick blood in ink bottle. It even behaves like blood โ a broad line will not dry flat, it will form a tactile structure.

Today is the 32nd anniversary of the #Tiananmen Square Massacre. There is only one ink for this occasion: bloody Noodlerโs Tiananmen. A while ago I wrote a thread:

@ashes_oak Donโt you think itโs quite disgusting to use someoneโs skin as a cover? Everyone should treat animals as equals; for an empathetic person like myself products made of leather are simply awful. ๐คข๐คฎ
@PurePens Unpopular opinion: donโt buy Jinhao โ donโt support copycats, who steal designs from established and respected manufacturers, and sell them as their own. They donโt invest in research, so they an sell their products cheaper. I boycott them, and you should too.

@0xabad1dea Iโm exploring Arabic on Duolingo, and Iโm overwhelmed by the number of similar sounds (not only vowels): opened, closed, short, long; sometimes I canโt distinguish between them. I wish English used such detailed alphabet for all the sounds it has (Iโm not a native speaker).

And a word about this pen: if you are considering buying Noodlerโs Ahab, please donโt โ save yourself the frustration of using it. Itโs flex when you force it, itโs difficult to handle, the ink flow is so bad I did not write the name of the pen on the note, I gave up. Just donโt.

The name of this ink translates as โblack-redโ, but itโs nowhere close to this. To me itโs the colour of wine โ a mix of purple, red and pink, with lovely shading. Beautiful. ๐
