Hi! I have never done this before so I am a bit confused but what kind of leathers can I use this with? Or is this just a bad idea for leather in general?
No clue on the pen. However you could stamp it in with one those leather stamping kits. That would be permanent and look pretty cool too.
Example of one of the kits: TEKTON 6610 5/32-Inch Letter and Number Stamp Set, 36-Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NPUKY8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.2djyb5P16NBP
This just made me think about making my own.
Get a piece of metal, and a letter/number stamp set (like https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-6610-32-Inch-Letter-36-Piece/dp/B000NPUKY8) and make my own.
Total cost would be under $30 and you could make as many as you need for just the cost of a new piece of metal (cheap).
Might do this today..
This, I would use This instead
I suggest using this for seed word backups...actual backups of base58 private keys wont work because those use capital and lower case letters
Here let me save you $70. But yes I believe you can do just first 4 letters to have it be unique.
man I suck with inch, we don't use this measure here, would that work?

Something like this:
I bought a set of these fairly recently and did some leather of my own. Pretty decent set.
So one of these https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-6610-32-Inch-Letter-36-Piece/dp/B000NPUKY8?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1 plus one with numbers. Hold the tube steady in a vice and whack the end of the stamp with a hammer may have to hit it twice, especially on a smaller tube.
