Flash

Flash refers to pre-drawn designs created by the artist and available for selection at a set price, traditionally displayed on shop walls or in binders. Flash designs were the backbone of walk-in tattoo culture for most of the 20th century — standardized imagery that any client could point to and any competent artist could execute in a single sitting. Today, flash has experienced a resurgence: artists release "flash days" with curated sheets of original designs at accessible prices, making quality tattoo art available without lengthy booking waits or custom consultation processes.
