How do you proceed when you want to get new ink? The closer it gets to my birthday or Christmas, the bigger the hints I give out! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

Speaking of inks... Please tell me I'm not the only one who gets ink all over God's creation when refilling pens... The last time I refilled my red pen, I rubbed my eye and went around looking like someone beat the daylights out of me!

I use a syringe I use a syringe too, but somehow I still end up with ink on my fingers!

As an alternative to syringes lemme recommend 0.2 or 0.5mL "disposable transfer pipettes". Really cheap and the small ones have 2mm tips that easily fit the 3mm international cartridge opening, or anything else. The 0.2mL is a calibration mark, with a good squeeze I get half a Sailor cartridge (.5 at least).
"How do I proceed?" or how I should proceed? As is, I see a: new ink, ink on sale, ink mentioned in an email from a pen shop, ink mentioned on a FB group, ink mentioned in a review of another ink I looked at... if it's not expensive, it gets bought pretty easily. If it is, I look for deals. Sailor has become MUCH harder now that they've cracked down on any sort of discounting, even Pen Chalet's ink-drop points system. I don't get that many samples. I have a few recently of Colorverse since those are really pricey (tho I got some 30% off) and I wanted to figure out if a couple of questionable ones like Vortex Motion were really colors I want a lot of (it wasn't). In a couple of cases they were out of stock on bottle colors but had samples.
Really running out of storage space, and excuses. Don't care about excuses.

Today I was scrolling through Instagram and came across an ink that I "needed" because of the color AND the name. It's out of stock everywhere. I am feeling sad and will continue to until another ink catches my eye.

I can almost taste that color. It reminds me of a hard "boiled" candy of that color that was a mint and looked like sea glass.

My Birmingham Inks arrived today! Here's a link to my Instagram post. The colors don't look quite right on my laptop monitor, but you'll get the idea. http://instagram.com/p/CKetdYxjT_Y
