Flash is what tattoo artists call their designs. They are usually on pieces of A3, drawn in pen and ink or watercolours, can be black and white or colour and any genre of tattoo. Flash is displayed on tattoo shop walls and used to be the sole tattoos available in shop, if it wasn't on the wall you couldn't get it. More recently, late 70's, Ed Hardy arguably brought in the concept of custom tattoos among other artists. Instead of being limited to designs on the wall, nowadays customers will usually always have a custom tattoo drawn up or designed already. Flash therefore is now more of a way of showcasing an artists talents, portfolios, or decoration.
