Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball Pen - Retro Ink (Limited Edition)
This summer, channel your inner rebel with Retro Ink, the latest Tornado™ Popper from Retro51. Inspired by the bold lines and iconic imagery of American Traditional tattoo art, this limited-edition rollerball brings serious attitude to every mark you make. The barrel bursts with classic tattoo designs—bright colors, bold outlines, and timeless symbols of luck, love, and rebellion—set against a background that mimics aged parchment, just like the flash sheets once sketched in vintage tattoo shops. Antique brass accents and a top disc reading “Lucky 51” tie it all together with a nod to tradition and a wink at superstition.
Limited to just 613 pieces and launching on Friday the 13th, Retro Ink celebrates the long-standing tradition of spontaneous ink on this famously superstitious day. Each pen comes packaged in a matching tattoo flash-style tube and includes a fun temporary tattoo of your own—because who says the pen should have all the ink? Whether you're fully tatted or just feeling bold, this Popper is ready to leave its mark.
Each Retro 51 Tornado Popper twist-action pen comes loaded with a black rollerball refill that flows with a medium stroke.
