i'm still searching for an actual picture.
Lines in the artwork should not be too “tight”. No black line should have less that 2 mm space between it and any other line. No lightly colored or blank space within a darker colored area should be less than 2 mm in diameter.
Do not use colors in flash that are not commonly used in tattooing. “White” areas in flash are generally going to be skin tone. White should be used in flash SPARINGLY if at all as some tattooists won’t even use pure white. Fluorescent colors should not be used in flash, nor metallic colors.
Tattoo flash in general should have clean, clear distinct lines within the design. You can’t “sketch” a tattoo on the skin and tattoo flash is not sketched artwork. The popularity of “lineless” tattoo artwork is growing, but not commonplace at this time.
Keep the price of creating the actual tattoo (based on time required to tattoo it) in mind when designing the flash. Using 20 different colors in a 2 inch tattoo is going to really piss off any tattooist. In general, the larger the design the more colors and complexity the design can appropriately contain.
Common Mistakes that Make Flash LESS Tattoo-Friendly:
The line work is too tight. Ink spreads on skin over time, and if the design is too detailed for its size, the tattoo will bleed into a messy ink blob.
Blank areas in designs are not white. Skin comes in all colors, and pure white tends NOT to hold in skin (many tattooists won’t even use pure white). An area in your design that is left blank is not white, it is skin color.
Tattoo ink only comes in certain colors. Don’t use fluorescents or metalics in your flash.
Flash artwork in general should have clean, clear, distinct outlines. You can’t use a tattoo machine to “sketch” on someone’s skin. A “sketched look” can be created by an experienced tattoo artist, but this should be an intentional design choice by the tattoo artist, not as a standard for tattoo flash.
Marketability of designs. Just because you think a design is “cool”, doesn’t mean that anyone else wants to put it on his/her skin. When creating flash, you are not creating custom artwork. We support our artists’ creative efforts to come up with designs that are new and fresh. We want TattooFinder.com to be the best place to find artwork that sets new standards in the industry. HOWEVER, if you are planning on actually making SALES on your artwork, it would be nice if it happened BEFORE you died, in your own time. Most people get a tattoo because it has some type of meaning for them. If all people could create their own designs, then there would be no reason to sell tattoo flash. Tattoo flash should be created in an attempt to put out designs that people would create for themselves if they had the creative capabilities. Our customers will sometimes purchase flash because it is very different, creative and just “cool”, or because they think it will be fun and/or challenging to tattoo. But most of the time, flash is purchased with the purpose of being able to resell the designs to people in the form of tattoos. No one design will be right for all people, but each design that is created should be targeted for some particular type of person or group of people.
