The Best Pens For Bullet Journaling

If you write a lot and are looking for a good quality writing pen – these are definitely your top choice! 

Wonderful writing pen with a very comfortable grip. The writing is smooth and effortless, what else would you want from a writing pen.

These are so so cute! They are absolutely among my favorites. Apart from adorable Japanese designs, they also are very smooth and come with different nib sizes.

A great fountain pen for beginners, it’s inexpensive and super smooth in writing. It can easily replace your everyday writing pen.

This pen has been on my wish list for a very long time. It has all the features of a high-quality pen and has its own unique style. It can easily be a gem in your stationery collection.

These are classics when it comes to fineliners; they were also the first ones I ever bought. With waterproof ink, you can also use them with watercolor, and the vibrant black will surely make your drawings stand out.

These are a bit more pricey, but it’s totally worth it if you ask me. They are also waterproof and use bright black Indian ink.

Of all the fineliners I’ve ever used, they are the smoothest, so they are my top choice at the moment.

These might be on a cheap end, but they are great! One of my favorite features for these fineliners is how sturdy they are – they bravely withstand my entire body weight (yup I still use my pens like a 1yo and put ALL the pressure while writing).

Another cool thing about these fineliners is that they come not just in black, but also in brown and grey.

These are great, I have tons in my collection. The colors really bring me back to my school years. Plus they come in a huge pack of 30 colors for a pretty reasonable price if you ask me.

These babies are dreamy! They come in tons of colors, and the case can actually be used as a pencil case, making it very convenient to store and use them while planning.

Best colored gel pens on the market if you ask me! They are smooth and have so many different colors available, from bright to glittery. Whatever you want from your pen – they have it!

As a little extra, these pens are also the best to use in a Blackout Book if you have one.

Oh, and Sakura Gelly Roll white pen is my favorite way to fix my Bullet Journal mistakes!

If you’re in the market for high-quality retractable gel pens, these are your go-to. I’ve been using Pilot pens since high school, and I never felt like they were anything less than perfect.

They write very smoothly and have 20 bright colors in this set. Plus, since they are retractable – it’s pretty convenient to take them for outdoor planning or note-taking.

These are some of the most popular on the market and for a good reason – they are fantastic high-quality pens. If you’re looking to invest in good Bullet Journal pens – get some Tombows.

They come with dual tips, which will help you to work on your lettering. The brush tip is sturdy and flexible, which makes it even better for beginners.

They also come in a wide variety of colors, so whatever color your creative side craves – they most likely have it! 

It was the first brush pen I got, and it’s still my favorite

These brush opens are smaller and more portable, but don’t be fooled – they are still just as great as any others on the market!

They have a smaller nip, so they can be used to letter clammer things like daily headers.

The colors are all vibrant and resistant to fading. So if you’re wondering if it’s worth the investment, the answer is yes

Great brush pens with actually two tips. The large one is similar to Tombow Dual Brush pens, and the smaller one will help you with smaller headers like the one on weekly spreads.

And you can get them 10% off with my code MASHA10.

These are the classics and the most popular of the fude pens. They are available with two tips – soft and hard. I’d definitely say they are my favorites when it comes to fude pens.

Even though I’d say the most useful fude pens are black, the Tombow ones also come in a variety of colors, which is a plus.

Another fude pen with a pretty flexible nib. They come in a variety of saturated colors and are extremely durable.

I feel like these are lesser-known fude pens, but they are still amazing.

The specificity here is that they come in 3 different nip styles – hard, soft, and medium. 

These markers are amazing. First of all, they have TONS of colors and come at a very affordable price.

Secondly – because they have a very specific tip, they can also be used for brush lettering!

The Frixion series from Pilot is great and erasable! Yup, any mistake you make with these markers can be easily erased without any trace.

This means that the colors aren’t that saturated and are a bit muted, which I personally love in my markers.

There is a warning to these pens though, apparently if a lot of heat is applied the colors might get erased. I’ve never had this issue myself, but I know some people did so I thought I’d mention it.

By applying heat I mean for example if you use a heat gun for embossing or help you try some watercolors.

I simply ADORE these highlighters. The beautiful muted colors are perfect for note-taking, and the dual tip makes them easy to use for coloring as well.

Once I got my first pack I couldn’t stop, and now I happily use all colors from their collection.

These beauties come in several colors and actually have a dual tip – a marker and a thin tip.

I love them for coloring and doodling.

Gold and silver are the basics of metallic pens, and you can’t go wrong with these by Uniball. They are shiny, pretty, and smooth to write with.

Acrylograph pens are great, and they are definitely my favorite metallic pens at the moment. They take a while to dry, but the wait is absolutely worth it.

Speaking of beautiful colors – the ones from the Kuretake collection are magnificent and probably my favorites from all I’ve tried so far.

If you’re looking for some good basic metallic markers, these are it. The colors are pretty, and they are smooth on the paper.

Sakura Gelly Roll pens are my favorite gel pens, and they also have a metallic set. So it's a perfect match!
