I’m not a tattooer. What exactly is “flash”?
Flash is industry lingo for the artwork that you typically see on the walls of a tattoo shop. Flash has been around since the early days of tattooing and provides both directly tattooable designs as well as ideas and inspiration for customizable tattoos. Artwork that is meant to be tattooed is done in a very specific way, taking into consideration composition as well as longevity. Flash is always a better alternative to the generic Google search.
What size are the sheets?
All sheets are 11”x14”, an industry-standard size.
How are the sheets shipped?
Sheets are shipped inside a clear plastic bag, inside a stay-flat envelope. Shipping prices are calculated through real-time USPS prices
How long does it take for my order to ship?
Orders are processed in the order they’re received.
Flash & Books: Ship within 5–7 business days.
Fine Art Prints: Ship within 10–14 business days.
I received my tracking number but its not showing movement?
This is pretty common. Sometimes labels are printed a few days before the actual ship date so our printer can prep everything ahead of time. The 10–14 business day lead time starts from your order date.
USPS tracking can be slow to update—it’s not unusual for a package to show no movement and then suddenly be delivered.
If you’re worried your order might be lost or delayed, just reach out to us.
I selected priority, why hasn't my order shipped?
Selecting Priority or expedited shipping affects delivery speed after shipment, not processing time. Orders still follow our regular lead times (5–7 business days for flash, 10–14 for fine art prints). Once your order is ready, we’ll ship it using the method you selected at checkout.
Why is shipping outside the United States so expensive?
We wish it wasn’t! International postal rates are high and based on package weight. We use real-time USPS pricing, which usually means multiple items can ship together for the same cost (up to 1 lb).
