Abstract: Apparatuses using gel ink to create images, particularly, generally pen shaped stampers and markers, wherein gel ink of various types are used. The gel ink travels from an ink tip through an ink conduit to saturate the applicator. The ink tip forms the top end of the ink conduit and the applicator forms the bottom end of the ink conduit. All three components are made of a porous material that will absorb the gel ink. The apparatus using gel ink for creating images can then be used to stamp or to draw on a surface.
