Can you drink fountain pen ink?

The majority of people, when they conceive of someone being poisoned by ink, picture them drinking ink from a pen. In the event that you have accidentally ingested ink, for example by biting on the end of a pen and getting ink in your mouth, there is no need for you to be excessively worried.
"Ball-point pens, felt-tip pens, and fountain pens contain so little ink that there is not enough to cause poisoning if it is sucked from a pen," said a report written by the World Health Organization (WHO). It's possible that some inks may make your mouth feel uncomfortable. It is possible that ingesting large quantities of ink directly from the bottle might cause irritation, although no cases of severe poisoning have been documented.
If you accidentally ingested ink, the World Health Organization recommends flushing your system with water and says there is no need to take any more action.

Signs and symptoms of ink poisoning

Because it comes in such a little amount and is believed to have a low toxicity level, ink from pens, markers, highlighters, and other writing instruments is often not a cause for worry about poisoning.
Typical symptoms include a discolored tongue or skin, and while it's unusual, you may also have some slight stomach distress.
If ink from any of these sources has been accidentally ingested, it is imperative to seek medical assistance due to the high concentration of ink found in printer cartridges and stamp pads.

Toxic effects from ink left on the skin

Drawing with ink on your skin won't get you sick with ink poisoning. Although it has the potential to leave a temporary stain on your skin, ink will not poison you.
