Abstract

A tattoo cap array is disclosed having a plurality of tattoo caps aligned sequentially each having a cavity defined by a frustoconical sidewall, a base forming a closed end of each cavity and linking together each of the plurality of tattoo caps, and a detachment section formed in the base at a midpoint between adjacent tattoo caps. A concave ring is preferably formed in the sidewall of each cavity to prevent dripping of ink, provide a discernible fill line and helps prevent ink overflow during filling. An adhesive layer may also be applied to a bottom side of each cap to allow reliable placement of the cap array. The base of each cap is octagonal for increased stability for filing and use. Preferably, the array comprises between 6 and 20 caps which can come is a variety of volumes and can be separated into a smaller number of caps by detaching caps at the detachment section of the desired cap of the array. The detachment section may be a perforated strip, a frangible section, or other suitable mechanism which would facilitate separation.
