Flash tattoos

Flash frenzy

We get it—sometimes you walk into our tattoo shop with a crystal-clear vision, ready to etch your soul’s story onto your flesh. Other times? Well, other times, the perfect tattoo finds you. It’s like destiny knocking on your door, saying, “Hey, let’s make some magic.”

So when life calls for not overthinking things…like your tattoo, we like to answer with our Flash Gallery. Think of it as your ticket to spontaneous creativity. But, before we dive into our cool collection of Flash Tattoos, let’s rewind to the days of Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins, the OG tattoo rebel to see how this all got started.

Sailor Jerry knew that life was too short for indecision. So, he created Flash—the instant gratification of ink. It’s like ordering a shot of adrenaline with a side of art. Back when tattooing was frowned upon, artists would set up shop in hidden areas (like the back of a bar). They’d display Flash designs on cardboard, allowing them to quickly tattoo several clients in one night. If the authorities showed up, the artists would pack up their designs and vanish “in a flash.” The term “flash” stuck, and it became synonymous with boldness, spontaneity, and a dash of rebellion.

So fellow wanderer, take a look at our Flash Gallery. Maybe that tiny anchor speaks to your maritime soul, or perhaps the cosmic octopus winks from the depths of your dreams. And, yes, you’ll even find Harry Potter Tattoos among our Flash—because this is Universal Studios, and who wouldn’t want a deathly hallows symbol inked on their skin.
