There are so many kinds of inks and colours that are available, it can be overwhelming to choose the one that you need.

You would need to buy a dye based ink pad in black, like Memento and a permanent one like StazOn or Rangers Archival Ink. That would be a good start and as you learn more techniques you will find out what kinds you really need. Buying a lot of ink pads can be hard on your wallet.
