Tattoo Flash Style

Not too long ago if you wanted a tattoo you went to your local parlor and looked through varies photo albums that contained tattoo flash and Polaroid's posted on a wall gallery. This is what you had to choose from. In those days choices were limited.

With the Internet you may already be discovering that the choices are seemingly endless when it comes to online galleries and design choices. Unless you have a specific design in mind, you will be spending hours searching.

Online galleries often contain user submitted photos of finished work. This is one way to see how a certain design will look on the skin. Keep in mind that every tattoo artist is different. Unless you are visiting the website of the actual shop you plan to visit, the photos you are seeing will be an approximation.

Once you have found the design you want, you will then need to print it out and take it to your artist. This is where a tattoo flash comes in, and can save time for your artist.

Tattoo Flash

A tattoo flash is a design that has been applied to a certain type of paper, kind of like tracing paper or carbon. This will allow for quick transfer of your design and your artist will be able to replicate it quite easily and accurately.

If you are searching for tattoo flash, you will be able to find these free on a lot of sites, but keep in mind that often what you end up with is an inferior product, as most of these designs are not done by a professional flash artist. Yes, there is a difference between a flash and an ordinary drawing.

When a professional draws a design for a tattoo flash, if you have seen these before you will notice that very intricate details are left out, and this is for a reason. The basic design is much easier to replicate and the fine details can the be added, often at your artists discretion.

A good tattoo artist often uses imagination as well when replicating a design, and this adds to a unique look to a tattoo. So, consider not using free sites to locate flash designs, and avoid gallery sites, which often do not make them available.

If you have artistic abilities, you may be able to create your own design to work off of. It need not be perfect, as a good tattoo artist can often see more in a basic drawing then you think. You may see a cloud, but your artist will see the silver lining beneath the surface.
