Link Love: Inkmas is coming!

Starting tomorrow, the staff here at WAD will start our annual inky tradition of an ink review a day until Christmas day. We want to share with you some of our favorite inks, whether they are just released or old favorites. So, don’t forget to check back in everyday for the next 12 days to experience our weird and inky holiday tradition. You can also use our Inkmas tag to check out previous Inkmas posts. There’s no better time to make a list of your must-have inks!
