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?
