Tattoo ink supplies include a wide range of items. Some of these products are integral to a successful tattooing session. Other products are simply handy or add flair.
The most obvious and important of tattoo ink supplies are the pigments themselves. These may be purchased individually as they are needed or in bulk. Different artists will have their own preferences when it comes to not only brands but also colors. Some clients may have their own ink preferences as well.
Other tattoo ink supplies include the disposable caps used to hold the pigment while the artist is working. Some artists purchase special holders for these, which may be basic and functional or more elaborately designed. As an example of the latter type, some holders are designed to resemble skulls or dices. Another useful accessory when it comes to inks are book guides which providing mixing and application tips for particular pigments.
