Tattooing and ink caps

You should never dip your tattoo needles straight into ink bottles and for good reason. You needles are sure to become contaminated while you are using them; the blood on the needle can enter the bottle and spread disease. You need to put a small amount of ink into your ink caps to prevent this happening, and only use this ink for the one customer. You should never pour unused ink back into the bottle.

These caps can be bought from anywhere that sells tattoo gear, and you can find cup in different sizes. They have numbers which denote their size and a low number indicates a cup of small size. It is important that you don’t just use any old ink; you could cause a lot of problems by doing this. Buy it from a tattoo retailer that you can trust.
