Flash Tattoos in NYC

Walk-in and Flash tattoos in NYC have been huge in tattoo history! Back in the day, sailors would just pop into tattoo shops looking to mark their travels with something special. They didn’t plan much; they just picked simple designs or went with whatever the local artist had on hand, immediately capturing a piece of their journey.

Today, this vibe of walk-ins and cheap Flash tattoos is still strong. It’s all about grabbing a memory and keeping it with you forever! These tattoos are like ready-to-go designs that you can choose from, often displayed in prints or a folder at the Flash tattoo shop. They’re meant to be tattooed repeatedly, so there’s always something fresh to pick.

Of course, we offer standard flash books for all our clients, but we also allow you to treat yourself to unique, hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind flash designs. We have a great selection of these exclusive pieces. So why not grab a consultation and pick out your special one?

Reviews

I HAVE BEEN TATTOOING ON THE LOVE MACHINE WITH THE OWNER SIVAK FOR OVER 7 YEARS. I LOVE THE STUDIO! SIVAK IS A MASTER OF HIS CASE AND ALWAYS CARES ABOUT ME. LOVE MACHINE HAS SEVERAL TOP LEVEL PERFORMERS LIKE MASHKOV AND MEL. DON'T HESITATE TO APPLY HERE, IT'S THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN NEW YORK.

The store itself is now HUGE. So much space! Clean, but with a lot of cool art. There is always coffee and tea, comfortable sofas, etc. I have always worked with Vasily Shedin, he is very talented and very easy to work with.

I've been going to LOVE Machine for about 3 years now and couldn't recommend this place enough. All the staff and performers are incredible and very friendly. The new place is amazing, very clean and inviting. Denis worked on my sleeve and is an amazing artist. Truly the best. I also think it's important to note that artists love what they do and take great pride in their work. I won't go anywhere else. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

Will a Flash tattoo last?

Like any other tattoo, Flash tattoos can last a long time with proper care. The durability depends on where it’s placed on your body and how well you care for it. For instance, Fine-Line Flash tattoos might need touch-ups sooner than bolder ones. Keeping it clean and avoiding sun exposure helps maintain its vibrancy.
