I have nowhere near as many inks as some. (which I'm astounded by, and a little envious of...) My half-dozen or so bottles occupy a corner of a drawer beside a bunch of pencils and pens.

I'm relatively new to having an ink "collection". I've only got 16, with 5 on the way. So far they live in (growing) clusters on the living room table and look great with a mess of papers and pens. That has got to stop!
Covid has been my savior here, but one of these days I'm going to have company again and the table will need to be cleared. I've got an antique desk with several compartments that I think I'll re-purpose as a pen and ink desk.

A bit over fifty, I think. About half are in one of my desk drawers, most of the rest on shelving in a cupboard in the same room, two on a separate shelf waiting to be tipped down the sink (or given to the first person I see walking past the house while holding a fountain pen; unlikely). They are grouped by brand and organised by colour. There are no favourites in the sense that if I do not like an ink then I will not keep it, otherwise each ink is used about as often as any other.

Every time my ink collection gets too big, I end up selling or donating some of it. I'm getting close again to one of those times.
Reminds me: Do we have a Pay It Forward subforum here?
It's in need of Fred's sticky: How to mark your listing sold
