FAQs

Is A flash tattoo a real tattoo? ›

Tattoo flash is any tattoo design that is pre-prepared for customers to avoid the need for custom designs, or as a starting point for custom work. Tattoo flash was designed for rapid tattooing and used in "street shops"—tattoo shops that handle a large volume of standardized tattoos for walk-in customers.

Tattoo flash sheets are prints of several tattoo designs. Usually, the designs use the same color palette so they look like they belong together. Tattoo artists will show customers flash sheets if they need help coming up with ideas for their tattoos.

The phrase “tattoo flash” originated from the traveling circus artists of the mid-to-late 1800s. These artists would showcase their tattoo designs on large pieces of paper or cardboard, which were then hung on walls or displayed in 'flash racks' for patrons to peruse and choose from – hence the term 'flash'.

Flash Tattoos are non-toxic and safe for all ages, though we don't recommend them for ages 3 and under. All Flash Tattoos pass safety standards for the cosmetic and toy product industries and meet all U.S. and international regulatory requirements.

When is it Okay to Copy Another Artist's Flash? The only time it is okay to copy someone else's tattoo designs is if you get permission from the artist to copy their design or if you buy/trade flash sheets. If you buy a flash sheet, then you “own” that original design and are free to tattoo it.

Conclusion. Flash tattoos can be a great option for those who want a unique and meaningful tattoo but may not have a specific design in mind. With the right preparation and aftercare, a flash tattoo can be a beautiful and meaningful addition to your body art collection.

Flash tattoo design can either be inked as it is or modified slightly depending on the customer. Modifications are minimal, though. If you're looking for significant changes, then a different flash design or custom tattoo designs might be the better option.

While a custom and original tattoo will set you apart from the crowd, it's going to be a more costly and time-intensive process than getting a flash tattoo. Most tattoo artists will charge you for the time spent designing the artwork, so be prepared for that.

"Live by the sword, die by the sword" is a proverb in the form of a parallel phrase, derived from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 26, 26:52): "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."

What's the lowest price for a tattoo? ›

On average you can expect to charge $50-100 for a small tattoo, up to $200 for a medium tattoo and over $250 for a large tattoo.

Quality work takes skill and time. And a lot of the tattoo price essentially comes down to the total time spent on the service, from designing the tattoo to changes made, to how long it takes to apply it to your skin.

A flash tattoo is a design that is ready to be tattooed immediately. Flash tattoos come as you see them. An artist usually has a sheet or a book with their flash designs in it. Typically, they are tattoos that are popular among people.

LED tattoos are accomplished by a combination of silicon-silk technology and a miniature lighting device known as a light-emitting diode.

Using a flash tattoo would really depend on your needs. If you are comfortable with having a tattoo that has the exact design as other people, then you can get it done as it is. Otherwise, you can also ask for adjustments and have your tattoo artist change some colours.
