The ink inself is not toxic but you have to exam the grade of the pen. Is it rusted? have sharp metal parts? If it didn't go in too deep then wash it out thoroughly. Make sure your tetanus shot is up to date (last 10 years) either way, you should be fine. If you develop swelling with non-clear discharge, fever or a red streak from the point of injury, then you may have an infection brewing. Antibiotics should help. But as far as toxic, no.
wow that pen is old
you should probably call a doctor.
i would call poison control in your phonebook they can help you out the best the can;if it gets into the blook stream it could possibly be a Huge concern soo i would do that and see what they say<3!
My uncle did that and a week later he had a sesure and died. Good Luck!!!!!
call your doctor or go to AE

Dont forget to take the pen with you to the docs or hospital so in case they need to assess the ingredients
