No, paint is made to an entirely different recipe: basically a liquid binder (possibly acrylic, linseed oil, etc.) and coloured powders, and other ingredients. Ink is much finer so as not to block a dip, or fountain pen's nib or a printer's ink cartridge. Thicker inks are used in the printing industry, notably in printing newspapers and magazines, etc.

Paint and ink have very different properties. Basically, the printing process uses the principle that oil and water do not mix, ink is an oil base, and dries much quicker than oil paint. There is also a color matching standard, Pantone, that has been developed for the printing industry, any color possible can be found in their system of ink colors. Many paint colors are achieved by the artist mixing them.

Can you use eye liner ink as tattoo ink?

For the love of God...NO! If it is not tattoo "ink", which is a misnomer...it isn't actual ink, but pigment that as more akin to paint, but IS NOT PAINT, and you cannot use that either. The only thing other than actual tattoo ink that one can use would be India Ink, but this gives you poor results. Get real ink, and have a real artist do it.
