Permanent Kits
The permanent tattoo kits will have a tattoo machine as part of the kit. The tattoo machine is a small hand held 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 is actually scarring the skin with the color. These machines come in different sizes but all are meant to be hand held.
Another part of the permanent kits is usually 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.
In addition to the machine and the cups there will also be some starter inks that are included with the kit. The starter inks are typically the primary colors and the amount is usually sufficient to last through at least five medium sized tattoos.
Temporary Kits
Temporary kits are a bit different, they do not have any type of machine included since these types of tattoo kits are used to create only temporary works or art. Usually these kits will either include rub on tattoos that are placed 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 can 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.
