Big Pen doesn't want you to know this, but you can LITERALLY just use a knife to open up pigment liners and brush pens, and then pour in your cheap-ass pigment ink!

Open your PENS people! (And remember NOT to use India Ink)

Oh! 🤯 I use a lot of these pens. What type of ink do you advise to do the refill?
@davidrevoy I currently use this Molotow Blackliner ink, but I haven't actually tried any other inks yet.

This works fine though, and the bottle has a decent point that makes refilling easier!

Thank you for the tip and the photo. 👍
