Well I love the silver skulls and the feel, but the ink in the pen I wasn't a fan of. It's actually just a regular Parker pen that you can get on Amazon for about $25 with a expensive silver casing around it. Don't get me wrong, when ever I break out this bad boy people love it and I'm like, "ummm if you walk off with this I'm calling the police!" I really wish they made a fountain pen version of this pen, so I knock off another star on a otherwise 4 star rating, because I'm a bias. To be honest, I feel there's better pen companies out there you can blow $300 bucks on, buuuuuut it is encased in badass silver skulls. I feel the art on the pen is the selling point versus the quality of parker. I'm also a artist, and I would not recommend this for cartooning at all, but if you're into journaling and keep a nice leather field journal on you in your man-bag and want something to spoil yourself with something with your stim-check or income tax return that's expensive and goth AF like I did, sure, this pen is for you.
