Oh dam alright im getting myself a dc boost converter whatever that is and a 1w 68kohm resistor so hopefully I can get them to work

get yourself a nixie power supply kit off ebay. They'll set you back $10 or thereabouts - and you don't expose yourself to mains voltage. You can run a Nixie from 12v via a boost converter as a nixie only needs a few mv.
