What is Flash (tattoo)?
A '''flash''' (also known as a ''tattoo flash'') is a design or picture that is used in order to create a [[tattoo]]. They often come in sets like a poster (called flash sheets), and can be seen in most tattoo shops. Tattoo flashes are often drawn for general use, rather than being a custom made piece like some personal tattoos. However, some flashes have space for [[personalisation]], for example space for the person to include a [[name]] in their tattoo. Tattoo flashes come in a variety of different designs, and are divided into [[categories]] such as celtic, heart, arm band tattoos e.t.c. A person wanting a tattoo made from a flash chooses which design they like best. Then the tattooist uses a [[wikt:stencil|stencil]] to draw the basic design onto the skin of the person being tattooed, and afterwards starts to make the tattoo. ==Related pages== *[[Tattoo]] [[Category:Tattooing]]
