Iron gall ink is a black ink made from iron salts and tannic acids, typically from oak tree galls. But I do not believe tannin was ever used. However one could make an ink like material based on iron salts and tannin.
However such inks are very bad, being acidic they attack the paper and can eventually "burn" holes in the paper whenever the ink was applied. There are much better inks and inks of a wide range of colors now.

How did they make there ink in the medieval times from which they are writing?
Two types of ink were made and used in the very long medieval period: carbon-based ink and the much more acidic iron-gall ink. Carbon ink was produced from finely-ground charcoal or fine soot from a lamp, mixed with water and gum to make ink that merely sat on the surface of the page. It was easily smudged or wiped away, but this type of ink was widely used in Anglo-Saxon books and documents. By the 12th century this type of ink had virtually disappeared, with a more acidic type taking its place. This was a mixture of tannic acid, often from crushed oak galls or bark, and iron sulphate or rusty nails (or some other source of iron compounds), mixed in rainwater with gum arabic. The acids from the tannin and iron salts meant that this ink ate into the surface of the page, etching itself permanently - so it was impossible to erase. Iron-gall ink was still being used in Germany for official documents up to World War 2.
