There are several items that are included with tattoo kits. Each variety the permanent type and the temporary type will have different parts that are included.

The permanent tattoo kits will have a tattoo machine as part of the kit. The tattoo machine is a small handheld device that has a needle at the tip the device causes the needle to move in and out. This is used to pierce the skin and to add color to the tattoo. The needle moves in an out of the skin leaving tiny little holes where the ink is deposited it’s actually scarring the skin with the colour. These machines come in different sizes but all are meant to be hand held.

Another part of the permanent kits is normally little cups that are used to hold different color inks the tattoo artist will use the machine to dip the needle into the ink the ink will then fill a small reservoir where it will wait to be injected into the skin.

Along with the machine and the cups there will also be some starter inks that are included with the kit. The starter inks are generally the primary colors and the quantity is ordinarily sufficient to last through no less than 5 medium sized tattoos.

Temporary kits are a little different, they don’t have any type of machine included since these kinds of tattoo kits are used to make only temporary works or art. Usually these kits will either include rub on tattoos which are put on the skin and wet down so that the image can than be transferred on to the skin.

Some times these kits come with inks and stencils so that the image could be drawn on the skin using the stencil.

The temporary tattoo kits are a lot les expensive than the permanent kits are. Of course the temporary kits are also a lot easier to come by. The permanent tattoo kits typically have to be special ordered through either a mail order catalog or through the internet.
