The present invention addresses the problem of providing: an aqueous pigment ink composition which exhibits scratch resistance and excellent discharge properties and re-dispersibility; an ink jet recording method using this composition; and a colored item. This problem can be solved by an ink composition containing a coloring agent, a resin and water, wherein the coloring agent contains a dyestuff that is substantially insoluble in water, and the resin is a polymer obtained by polymerizing at least one type of monomer represented by formula (1). (In the formula, R 1 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and R 2 denotes a methyl group or a C8 alkyl group, for example.) |
