You might get some ideas by researching Saddam Hussein.
I watched a documentary a couple years ago where he took the reporter on a tour. He had the Koran displayed page by page, under glass, written in his own blood.
There’s a short story about it here (just so you know I’m not making it up)

Anyway – more on that story may give you the information you are looking for. For example, how often does he need to give blood? Is he doing it himself or is someone else doing it? Does it have to be fresh? Stored? What about the finished product? Does it have to be stored a specific way as well?
Sounds like an interesting story.
Good luck and have fun!

You’d have to go beyond just no ink.
For instance, he couldn’t be on a deserted island, as these are popular nesting places for birds. And egg white plus soot equals what? ink. I forget the source, some novel on conquistadors, but the map maker mixed his paints with egg white.
So you need conditions that somehow eliminate every well known way to make ink or even glue (such as fish.) I’d suggest having the man a prisoner, awaiting execution, as this solves both the problem of “why blood” and “why make a map, when you already know how to get there? Wouldn’t it be smarter to just put down the ten paces from the three trees bit?”
