I want to draw my own tattoo, can I just use a regular ink pen (bic ballpoint) on printer paper?

No!! Don't do it! It won't work! It doesn't even work the way it's supposed to! Don't buy this paper! It's worse then a sticker. Trust me

As in does it write? Yeah it does, it's got a ballpoint setup inside the grip. You just pull the tip to replace the ink if it runs out. Real simple

Agreed. You will need a converter to add your own ink to this pen. Lamy sells a converter cartridge.

Yes. The print heads are "built-in" and you'll need to unwrap and install the ink.

Yes you can absolutely draw on these with marker. They are just sheets of paper with sticker adhesive on the back

It can but check online as to the type best suited to your needs. You do not want to use paper that ends up being a waste of time and ink

Yes you can. The ink is good quality ink and as long as you know how to put it in it will work.

Using a BIC 4-color ballpoint pen is a lot of fun. That is what we used back in my day. You can change colors with just one pen. http://smile.amazon.com/BIC-4-Color-Medium-Assorted-3-Count/dp/B002JFR8Q8/ref=pd_sim_op_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1TFYBATWH7FC1479W8TK

There are calligraphy nibs available. I'm not sure if you have a certain nib in mind.

I use a ball point pen that is out of ink...I would think any kind of a stylus that would not cut the paper would work..

Based on what others have posted, you may be able to print on this, but the company suggests you use their printable paper, which is more expensive: http://www.amazon.com/Grafix-KSF6-CIJ-2-Inch-11-Inch-Printable/dp/B00164THU8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1423180523&sr=8-4&keywords=shrinky+dinks+photo+paper I'd highly recommend printing on regular paper and then tracing it onto this kind, to make certain you don't ruin your printer.

The pen has an ink cartridge. You can buy additional cartridges and also buy a refillable cartridge if you want to use your own ink.

Sure! Your pen needs to have ink flow stimulated by some form of "suction". The easiest and gentlest method I've found is to ball up a kleenex and run it very gently with the smooth side of the nib. Just gently "wipe" the nib in a downward motion until you see ink in the kleenex. Then try to gently "write" on the kleenex with the pen. If you get no lines, just keep the gentle downward wipe with the nib and you'll soon get it. Whatever you do, don't use "writing" on paper as a way of making the pen have flow. It's not a ballpoint! You'll wear down your nib which needs inky lubrication to perform well. Sure! Your pen needs to have ink flow stimulated by some form of "suction".

Use a pen that is fine, and delivers ink slowly. BIC rollerballs are too heavy, and wide nibbed fountain pens are too inky; they'll bleed right through. I use a fine nibbed fountain pen for mine! Perhaps that or a fine felt-tip.

Yes, but it has a reduced supply of ink. If you just want a regular pen, you might want something else.

In my experience no. I use sketch and drawing paper and the ink never bled through.

Not at all :). The pen comes with a single blue ink cartridge. But you can use it with any of the several color ink cartridges. There is also a refillable adapter available that you need to buy separately.
