The pigments used in tattoos
The equipment used during tattooing services
The techniques applied in tattooing

The correct answer is: The equipment used during tattooing services

In tattooing, the term "instruments" specifically refers to the equipment used during tattoo services. This includes all the tools that a tattoo artist utilizes to create the artwork on the skin, such as tattoo machines, needles, grips, ink cups, and other accessories necessary for the tattooing process. Understanding the equipment is crucial for ensuring both the quality of the tattoo and the safety of the client, as proper tools must be sterile and maintained correctly to avoid any risk of infection or complications. The other choices describe relevant aspects of tattooing but do not accurately define instruments. Designs refer to the artwork being tattooed, pigments refer to the inks used to color the designs, and techniques relate to the methods artists use to apply tattoos. Each of these elements contributes to the overall tattooing process but does not encompass the definition of instruments.
