Yes, you could. if you want to die

it is done with drawing ink . and if you use home made crapyour stupid professional tools are cheap these days ,

I did that when i was younger on my ankle. Used a bic pen and a #11 sewing needle to put a smilie face on my ankle. Would I recommend it? No. Pen ink is toxic. And in a few years it will blot and look something similar to a smudge. If your damned and determined to put a tattoo on yourself with a needle and ink, look online for ink shots. It's a little tube of tattoo ink. They are a bit expensive for the quantity of ink. My other suggestion is to wait until your 18 and have an artist put the work on you. Think twice before you put a bf or gfs name or initials on you please.

Not at all in the least. To use ink from a pen is to introduce to yourself the lovely probability that you will get a fairly nasty infection, if not a staph infection outright, and the ink will mostly all fall out when healing as this is a dye and foreign agent that your immune system will push out to heal itself. The tattoo ink that professionals such as myself use is a pigment based solution, with the majority of the compounds of same being metallic oxides mixed with varying ingredients and suspended in a carrier solution. It is not "ink" in the least, and that is why it is ALWAYS ill advisable to use this for your tattoos. With that said, even water based inks such as India Ink are not good to use either since they are a more watery solution and the ink will fall out during healing more so since it is so thin and what does stay in will look faded black at best, if not blue in overall hue.

No. Printer ink contains various chemicals not intended for that purpose, and is not always sterile. It can cause damage to the skin and other tissues.

Is pen ink good to use for tattoo?

Quite simply, NO! This is ink that is toxic when introduced to the bloodstream, not that you should be going that deep to begin with, but you are never to use this kind of ink. If you for whatever reason can't get your hands on real tattoo ink and real materials, at least use India Ink. The results will look quite clearly home done and will probably fall out for the most part while healing, but it is at least non-toxic to you.

Can you use sepia ink instead of Indian ink for tattoo's?

You should not use Indian ink or sepia ink or any other form of drawing ink for a tattoo. Tattoo pigments are made to be used for just that, tattooing. Any reputable tattooist will use QUALITY ink for a tattoo. If you're tattooing at home, take apart your machines, put them in a plastic Ziploc bag and go get an apprenticeship and stop spreading disease.
