No, that's a ridiculous idea. The actual cartridge needles are much greater than just 2.5mm and I doubt you'd be able to penetrate correctly with it anyways. The actual pens/derminators are actually the least painful from my experience and using the dermastamp manually was the most painful and least effective. Just get a pen or derminator, if you don't have the cash just get a dermaroller, it's much better than the stamp which was a painful ineffective mess. Your body releases a natural painkiller so if you're honestly worried about pain you can just set the derminator to 0.5mm and go over your head a few times initially to numb it up. I wouldn't worry about having to discard of it either, I just washed mine in hot water and never once had an issue. You'll save more getting a decent roller/pen and reusing.Can one use the cartridges of a dermapen as a small stamp? Not sure exactly how I would hold it but if it works you would get clean punctures and shouldn't hurt as much as the electric pen going in and out at crazy speeds. Plus you can throw it away when you are done as opposed to having to clean or throw away the larger 7$ derma stamp.
