For the veterans. Can anyone make any ink recommendations for inks that don't bleed to the point of completely obscuring the text when the paper is later exposed to a little water?

Noodler’s Ink Bulletproof Black is the ink you’re looking for. It’s the only waterproof fountain pen ink I’m aware of.

  Platinum Carbon ink is supposed to be waterproof as well.

    Good to know, thank you!

Noodler's X-Feather is really waterproof and prevents feathering so much.

Use an iron gall ink, such as this one : http://www.registrarsink.co.uk/ http://www.registrarsink.co.uk/

  From what I’ve read, iron gall inks are only suitable for use with gold nibs. They will rapidly corrode steel nibs.

    Yes, I was also wondering if there are any other nibs besides gold that can survive this ink. Not sure if I'm ready to shell out that much for a fountain pen.

Two of my favorite inks are waterproof: Noodler’s Baystate Blue is gorgeous and removable only with bleach or very hard scrubbing (filling a pen with it is something of a terrifying ritual); and Noodler’s Warden series Bad Black Moccasin is everything-proof and the smoothest ink I’ve ever used.

  Ha! I had not actually considered that an ink that is hard to get out of paper might be hard to get out of your skin as well!
