FAQ

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.
