The lipid tails are found in the centre of the membrane. The membrane is made out of phospholipids. These have a phosphate head which is hydrophilic and a lipid tail that is hydrophobic. This form a bilayer (double-layer).

What is a plasma membrane made of?

A plasma membrane is made of a phospolipid bi-layer. Think of a plasma membrane like a grilled cheese sandwich. The bread on the outside of the sandwich is similar to the polar head of the plasma membrane, and the cheese on the inside is similar to the fatty tails on the inside of the membrane. If you tried to run water through the grilled cheese sandwich it would not get through the cheese center, much like water will not get through the center of a plasma membrane.
