You can purchase "Indian Ink" which has nothing to do with Indians today. I do not know why it is called Indian Ink but I had my first tattoo done with Indian Ink and a needle dipped into it. It is done by hand and it does not look as good as professional tattoos of course. One just takes a needle and dips it into the Indian Ink and pokes holes into the skin, not very deeply, but just as a tattoo machine would do. It takes a long time. You wipe the ink off of the top of the skin as you are doing it to see how much in has stayed in the skin. It can get infected so by Neosporin with pain reliever and antibiotic to put on afterwards.

Alright I'm going to leave the above comment cos it amuses me that someone would actually recommend using Indian ink and a needle, and would love for other actual tattoo artists to see it and respond as i did, with a "What are you talking about?"
Ok I'm going to first assume that the person who asked this has some kind of tattoo machine, probably brought off eBay, if not then i highly recommend that you do not follow the above method to screw up your own skin...or anyone elses for that matter...but for the purpose of my response you have a tattoo machine.
The only thing you should use for tattoo ink is ACTUAL pure pigment tattooing ink. Tattoo Ink is made in a sterelized environment to strict regulations for the safety of the end consumer (the person getting tattooed). It is incredibly easy to obtain tattoo ink these days, just Google it and you'll find a supplier that doesn't require you to be working in a shop, i know of one major American supplier but i will not name them on here. It's a lot safer than using Indian ink and a needle.
If you plan on following this other method mentioned above may i strongly suggest you don't. If you're too young to get a tattoo that's not a bad thing. Put some time into designing something really cool. My first tattoo took me 4 years of careful planning and design. I started off with a base design and modified it and added to it over time as i grew as a person. Give it time, save up money and get it done professionally.
I am no professional tattoo artist but I do have several and I know the risks involved include excessive bleeding and fainting. I would not suggest trying to be cheap and do it at hone, pay the money at a professional shop and get it done right. If you can't afford it don't get it.

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.

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.
