technically yes, you could scar the body in a designed manner. But no, you cannot really get a tattoo with pen ink. You will most likely get ink poisoning

How can you protect yourself from getting hep b from a tattoo needle?
Make sure the shop you go to has a license, is clean and that they ONLY use disposable needles. If you don't see them pulling out a new, sterile needle each time they start a tattoo, then don't get a tattoo from them. - - - - - You're not likely to get a bloodborne disease from a tattoo needle. If you're going to get one from a tattoo shop, it will come from the ink. Tattoo artists don't like to use old needles, and needles aren't expensive--so, unless you go to someone who tattoos out of his house, you'll get new needles when you get a tattoo. The ink is a different story. It is expensive, and they can't use all of it when they give someone a tattoo. You put ink in a tattoo machine by dipping the tip in the ink and stepping on the footpedal, which causes the needle to pull ink into the reservoir. If you're refilling the machine during a tattoo, there's blood in the machine, which winds up in the ink. Some guys are tempted to put the unused ink back in the bottle. So...if you really want to see how good a shop you're dealing with, go watch them do a tattoo--they'll let you. If they finish the tattoo and immediately throw all the ink caps and excess ink into a biohazard bag, it's a safe shop. If they set the ink caps to the side for later, don't go there.

What ink do you use for a homemade tattoo machine?
Well first off I would never recommend using a homemade tattoo machine. That is so ghetto and unsafe. If you are interested in Tattooing I would recommend a professional Tattoo set. If you are wanting to buy a set I have many extras so just email me and I can give you a price and advice. As far as the ink goes I would recommend moms, eternal, or precision Tattoo ink from Tuscon, AZ. They do sell ink from there website. The main tattoo artist is Dennis dwyer

What kind of pen to use on homemade tattoo?
don't use a pen for christs sake! the amount of messed up homemade tattoos ive been shown at my shop is unbelievable. if you are unpatient enough not to wait till you have money or are the right age, at least buy a machine and get an artistic friend to do it for you. or, a sterilized needle and NATURAL Indian ink will work. but don't come cryin if you get ink poisoning. im a skinhead and have a cross done with the needle and ink thing, and it fades after a while but is fine if done properly.
