Glass Bottle Review: If you want blue.. - ..then you shall have blue.. With an almost legendary reputation and sporting an ocular assault level shade of blue, nothing is quite like it. As with most Noodlers inks, it is well lubricated and you get a generous amount. If you have heard of this ink you will probably know it may perhaps stain a bit. Actually that's a monumental understatement. Be careful using this and only use it in pens you also don't mind staining or treated with bleach afterwards. Some people have a pen set aside dedicated to using this ink only, so I wouldn't put it in your MB149... It can stain cloth, plastic, metal, ceramic, glass(!), stone, people, houses... you get the idea. Very nice colour though. Review: Fantastic Blue ink - This ink is just fantastic, but be very carefull it is hard to get off your hands and other surfaces if you are a messy so and so when filling a pen like I was. but I am so pleased with the colour and the flow of this ink. ## Features - Bay state Blue - Genuine Noodle's Quality - Fountain Pen Ink for Vintage or New Pens - Made in USA - 3 oz.

(Like the "free pen" that is included with Noodler's Hearts of Darkness ink)** A: Yes, and I think the Preppy is a perfect match for this amazing ink. I converted a Preppy Medium 05 to an eye dropper pen, and filled its large capacity with this ink. It stained the almost-translucent barrel to its color, which looks awesome. **Q: Is the Bayside Blue ink waterproof/bullet proof?** A: Based on the Noodler's Website, Baystate Blue is NOT bulletproof, but it is at least partially waterproof.Regards,Pen Chalet **Q: Has anyone used this ink with a Pilot Namiki vanishing point with a fine nib? I'm thinking about establishing one with a nice blue ink.** A: I am using it in Pilot Namiki VP with a fine nib, writes great, I use the con-20 converter, and use a syringe to refill it (just gets a few drops more of ink into the converter) BTW the BSB is of the same color of my VP, a bonus. **Q: Can someone suggest a few good pens and nibs that work well with BSB?** A: I use an Esterbrook J with a signature stub nib, it works well, but note that Baystate Blue can stain pens. Most people I know who use BSB dedicate pen(s) to that ink alone. It's a wonderful ink, and a lovely colour. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want blue.. *by J***C on 4 May 2017* ..then you shall have blue..

Be very careful. *by A***L on 3 January 2019* This evil bottle was filled all the way to the top and once I got it on my hands it was impossible to wash off completely (but skin sheds naturally so eventually it stopped staining my hands). It can also stain the (white porcelain) sink when you go to wash the pen. I found that the best best to get ink off skin and off surfaces is to put a little alcohol gel on the surface and wipe it around with a finger to disperse the ink, then wipe off the alcohol gel with a tissue before it dries to capture the ink onto the tissue. Water does nothing. Anyway, the review: This is a very striking blue ink that looks like the blue used on old HTML hyperlinks (the ones you find on old websites, not the new softer shades of blue now used on google search results) It really burns into your retina Once you adjust to it, other blue inks seem very soft and boring. You can no longer go back to using other blue inks, because they *pale* in comparison. It is waterproof once it dries. ## Frequently Bought Together - Luxury Brands Noodler's Bottle 3 Ounce Refill Baystate, Blue (19048) - Lamy Z28 Converter for fountain pen models Abc, AL-star, joy, Lx, nexx, nexx M, safari, vista - Noodler's Black Waterproof Fountain Pen Ink - Bulletproof,3 ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48746566-noodlers-ink-bay-state-blue-bottled-ink-refill](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/48746566-noodlers-ink-bay-state-blue-bottled-ink-refill) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
