In Tagalog mythology, Tala is the goddess of stars, and one of the greatest deities in the Sky World along with her sister, Hanan, the goddess of dawn. 1980 also marks the discovery of a minor planet that is now named after two Filipino astronomers, the first time the country has been given this kind of accolade.

Vinta inks are really one of my favorites. The colors are rich and the sheen or shimmer is always spot on. Vinta is a gorgeous deep blue that shimmers like the night sky. A trul... view morey beautiful ink. I have it in a Conklin Endura and it flows perfectly. view less
Gotta say, I wasn't expecting this to be as devastatingly beautiful as it is. I inked up a pen with an Ultra Flex nib with this and WOW! Beautiful shading, deep navy ink, and copp... view moreer sparkle. It's a real stunner. I did have to add a smidge of White Lightning to get it to flow consistently in a flex pen, but that's not a big deal to me. That's why I bought White Lightning in the first place. Tried to take a photo of it but had a hard time capturing the beauty on camera. Anyway, I love it so much I'm back to buy a full bottle. Try it! view less
Vinta inks are fast becoming my favorites for their unusual sheening properties and good behavior in any type of nib. This is a very deep blue bordering on black with mild shading... view more and a deep, coppery, sheen, making the shimmer also seem reddish-gold or coppery. As noted by another reviewer, this ink is drier than most Vinta inks — my sample dried in about 10-15 seconds. view less

I love Vinta inks, but I find their shimmers run a little dry. Tala Night Sky was no exception, but a couple drops of White Lightning perfected it! After that, it's been nothing bu... view moret smoothing with a lovely, somewhat desaturated dark blue. The shimmer doesn't always show through, even on Tomoe River paper, though the color of the ink itself is beautiful enough on its, making the bits of sparkle seem like gorgeous extras. view less
