Nikko means: A felt-tip pen, of the Nikko brand or of any other brand, or the marks left by such a pen.. It is mainly Australian English and may not be understood outside that context. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear.

Nikko means: A felt-tip pen, of the Nikko brand or of any other brand, or the marks left by such a pen.. Register: informal, Australian English. Often not understood outside its region; gloss the word on first use when writing for an international audience. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
“its like ur continuing my legacy after i've passed on into the next life lmfao the family tree of nikko (aromelks on tumblr, i wonder how he is now) -> me -> u -> your lovely sweet sounding friend (im sure theres more branches off of each of us, too) its pretty to think about :)”

For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
