famous ink brands?

[ravenofroses]

When I write, I use a lot of small but significant recurring themes. One that has started to emerge is the use of fountain pens/calligraphy pens/just general non-ballpoint writing tools. I am relatively familiar with the different pens, but for the life of me I cannot find the names of famous brands of ink! Any search I try to run on the subject gets bogged down with printer inks, tattoo inks, T-shirt inks, anything BUT writing inks.

So I was wondering: could anyone point me toward some old, established brands? I have been using "India ink" for now, but I would love to find something a little more, well, creative.
