Does this ink contain carbon?

(Everything in the universe does not contain carbon...)

Will it work for a stick and poke tattoo?

Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India Inks are designed for fine art use on paper, canvas, and other associated mediums. They are not designed for tattooing or use in dermal or subdermal applications. Please visit your local tattoo shop for advice on supplies and application of safe tattoo practices.

What is your favorite dip pen nib for this ink? My blue pumpkin nib hates it - either dumping too much, or railroading, with very little in between.

Hi. Would suggest perhaps one of the speedball sets, has dip pen holder and selection of nibs. With Kind Regards Sue McGarrigle The Society for All Artists

Can it be used for a quill?

Yes, although you may want to purchase a smaller well/bottle to keep the rest of the quill clean and to keep your ink from drying out. They are about $1 on Amazon.
