Is normal pen ink ok for a home made tattoo?

Really. save yourself the time, get it done professional. IF you insist on having it done wrong, I hope you enjoy the dogshit tattoo.

Just use a sharpie and draw it on. You will be better off and it will probably last longer than your home made bic pen craziness.

No, Indian ink is most commonly used when people wish to use the DIY option. Definently not pen ink lol.. . . unless ofcourse you would like to get ink poisoning. Watch it doesn't get infected too... Good Luck...

use india ink. or buy actual tattoo ink. you can get ink poisoning from pen ink.

i let someone do that to me once and my foot became heavily infected, then i got two professionally done...much better. (probably the difference between 13 year old me and 20 year old me lol)

straight forward answer-NO.

I'm not going to tell you not to do it or that it is dangerous - you obviously know it is otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it yourself. What it is is stupid, but, hey, we've all done stupid things in our time. Usually though our stupidity doesn't leave us permanently scarred. If you're going to do it yourself at least have the sense to use proper inks - using anything else is just asking for trouble. I'm sure there are plenty available on eBay. Best thing, though, would be to save up some of your benefit money or pocket money and have a professional do it.

I don't think it is.. In prison, people use carbon. They burn stuff and scrape the carbon and dye it.. Good luck...

y not just make some, ashes and clean water or vodka... its jailhouse but looks good, lasts and its clean, no chemicals. a bottle of ink is like $20 otherwise, cheap enough for something for life lol find someone that knows wtf they are doing to, some the best work ive seen is done from home. have fun ya
