yes.

No. However, it's likely that you might got "Ink Poison." I suggest you should go check-in with a doctor to make sure because ink poison could be serious.

How did ink poison happen?-When inks able to go to your cracked/ or open cut on your body and go through your blood veins down to your system. Then the ink will filled the blood and poison it. (Somehow you got a small cut inside your mouth or throat, if in that case)

You will be fine, but remember to go see a doctor to make sure.

No,
i dont think you will die
Because when i was in grade two i accidently sucked on a gel-pen too and sucked in ALL the ink and then i spat it out like hell
then i was ok
i didnt feel numb or anything else you said
As i said i dont THINK you will die but
I HIGHLY recommend that you go see a doctor it could be serious
Wait you SHOULD go see a doctor it doesnt matter if it isnt deadly or whatever at least you can fix it while you have a chance if it is deadly

Me, I have sadly had this once before in grade.2

Don't worry i'm sure the effects will not be as extreme as death. you said about an inch of the tube thingy, right?
here's an excerpt from ehow.com:

"Writing ink is a mixture of dyes, solvents, pigments and water. In most cases these ingredients are completely harmless. However, if ingested in large amounts over 1 oz., some types of ink, such as tattoo ink and printer ink, can be harmful."

OVER 1 OUNCE

more fortunate news for you from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002791.htm

"Writing ink is a blend of: Dyes, Pigments, Solvents, Water. It is generally considered nonpoisonous... Large amounts of writing ink must be consumed (more than an ounce) before treatment is needed."

go ahead and check out the websites to find out more.
i suggest to go to the doctor, though, just in case. i'm sure it'll go away eventually; your immune system will get rid of it (i think the ink will be peed out)

i'm sure you'll be fine =)

my opinion (about the immune syste)

I don't know if it's poisonous, but if it is, going to the doctor will allow you to stay alive! :D I do think the symptoms are serious and you should call your anti-poison center, but I doubt it would kill you. Lots of people accidentally swallow ink by chewing pens and I've never heard about someone dying from it. I'm not sure about the effects on brain cells though...probably not good :/ Anyway, I hope you survive :)

A; why were you sucking on a pen
B: when you realized you were drinking ink WHY DIDNT YOU SPIT IT OUT
C: its HIGHLY unlkely that you will die. just drink lots of water to flush it out of your system if you want a second opinion consult web md. or callpoison control
D: i think there is a lesson in this... dont suck on pens...

Ya should be fine; it takes an oz of ink to even acquire ink poisoning. So as far as the ink goes, you'll be fine. Any part of the pen that went into your body, which I may have misread that portion, I can't guarantee. So long as you didn't choke on anything, you'll be fine.

you could die from getting to sick or you could just get sick. you should really do see a doctor and never put a pen in your mouth again.

No. It would take way more than one pen full.

No!

You don't die from eating ink.

Why don't you see a doctor?
