Filling a Visconti Homo Sapiens Lotus Garden fountain pen #fountainpen #fountainpenink

Yes, ink can be messy. But, there's so much pleasure in filling your writing instrument with ink. A vacuum-filling fountain pen like the Visconti Homo Sapiens Lotus Garden you see here is especially satisfying because it has a one-handed, one-stroke motion to fill the barrel. When the plunger reaches down toward the front section, the pen sucks ink up into its body, which you can see through the partially translucent acrylic.
