Ink Review #76: Troublemaker Basilica Red

Today I will be reviewing my first Troublemaker ink. Basilica Red is a rich coppery red which is inspired by Jesus's red & gold clothing.

Troublemaker inks are handmade in the Philippines. I ordered these back in September and received them several weeks later. The bottles were well packaged and extremely cute!

This ink had a moderate dry time, low shading, and no sheen. The color is a dark rich red similar to Diamine's Ancient Copper.

This ink had a slightly dry but steady flow. The burnt red is great for sketching or writing and is best suited for fall.

Overall: I am quite pleased by my first Troublemaker ink. This is a beautiful dark red.
