Ah yes. Way back in 2001 my art teacher introduced us to calligraphy. She let us pick the pen and ink we wanted to learn with. The pens were all stored in cups with the nibs facing up so they don't rust after cleaning (they were never clean due to it being high school). I set my wrist on top of a set of nibs to go through the cup of pens next to it. When I lifted my hand an extra fine pen nub had impaled my wrist. It didn't hurt so I pulled it out. Later while I was washing my hand I noticed a black dot on my wrist. It wouldn't wash off. I still have the black dot to this day though it's quite faded at this point. And that's how I got my first tattoo.

I got stabbed in my thumb by a friend with a calligraphy pen about 12 years ago now. Since its on the palm side youd expect it to fade, but it never did.

I have a similar “tattoo” on the left leg. My sister and I were fighting and she grabbed a pencil and stabbed me with it. She was 6 and I was 7. So now I have a permanent dot of gray on my shin. It looks kinda blue nowadays, but it’s still there.

I do calligraphy as a hobby, so seeing the nibs go into the billet made me cringe a little inside - but I trust that they're in the hands of a master and I was not disappointed! The resulting pattern looks like it was drawn by an expert calligrapher! Both your process and your results are works of art and very relaxing to watch.
