You can only use inks made with dyes like aniline, and inks carefully balanced for proper surface tension, pH, and that contain an effective biocide. Fountain pens are very picky about ink and its characteristics.
Of course, nothing can stop you from trying but there's your problem.
Why not buy a nice set of Speedballs? They're cheap, fun to use, and work great. Also glass dip pens are cool and work pretty well too but not so much for calligraphy where you want a stub nib. Speedball also has some cool nibs for drawing wide lines. There's a reason that all cartoonists and manga artists use them.
