Let’s paint a picture; you’re having a super nice day, it’s sunny and warm outside and you’re going for a walk around the city. All of a sudden you spot a tattoo parlor across the street with a giant sign saying ‘Walk-ins welcome“. And, now you’re intrigued; you’ve been wanting a tattoo for such a long time, but even if you do decide to get a quick tattoo, what would you even choose for a tattoo design. It’s not that you’ve been planning to do this.

Well, if this sound like something that could happen to you (or if it happened), we’ve got you covered. You don’t have to worry about thinking of a super cool tattoo design right there on the spot; instead, you can always rely on something called flash tattoos.

But, what are flash tattoos? In the following paragraphs, we’ll talk about flash tattoos, what they are, what designs they comprise, and how you can get your flash tattoo, well, in a flash. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into this super interesting topic!

Flash Tattoos: What’s the Difference Between Custom and Flash Tattoo?

1. What Are Flash Tattoos?

If you, now, all of a sudden think of a random tattoo design, chances are a common tattoo design like a rose, gun, heart, flowers, or anything in that realm will pop into your mind as a tattoo example. And that is what flash tattoos are; the most common tattoo designs, regarded as such by almost every single person out there.

Now, flash tattoo designs are generally drawn on paper or cardboard. As such, they’re then displayed on the walls, tattoo shop windows, and in binders so customers looking for a tattoo can have a quick inspiration (if they don’t really know what kind of a tattoo to get). Flash tattoos are always done fully; fully drawn and colored so that the customers have a complete understanding of what the tattoo will look like even before getting it tattooed on themselves.
