no where does it indicate that ink is included [SEP] i have seen many kits that do not include ink buy your own ink because the ones that have had ink are small containers so instead of gigging it for not having ink review it on its performance and all that comes with it most beginners learn either from a tattoo artist or from a course there are even videos available on the internet to help you learn some things this kit comes with pc tattoo pen machine pc cable tattoo power supply and power cord tattoo needles box bandages mixed size tattoo ink caps pedal plate without ink and a piece of practice skin
