What is a flash tattoo and why is there so much hype around them? Well, you’ve probably already seen flash tattoo art before in a tattoo shop. They are hand-drawn, ready-made designs that can be inked right away. These designs can also be modified to your liking by the artist. They can either be made by artists in the shop or they may be created by other flash artists that sell designs for living.
A flash tattoo is provided in a tattoo shop but the design can also come from an online source. These days, it is possible to go online to find a design that you love and then have it done in a shop. These designs are available in many different styles and offer the perfect answer for people that simply know that they want to get a tattoo but don’t know what to get.
Most shops these days that offer flash tattoos provide the design only once. This way, there aren’t other people walking around with the same tattoo. It’s also a great way to save money! If you don’t need a custom design made for you and have a budget in mind, this may be the perfect answer for you.

Is a Flash Tattoo For You?
In the previous article, we discussed the hype surrounding flash tattoos and why they are quite popular. Flash tattoos are pre-designed templates that tattoo stores offer right away which showcases the selection of work that a customer may be interested in. Flash tattoos are designed to be “ready to wear”, meaning that it saves you the time from having to consult with a tattoo artist on creating a custom design. For the most part, flash tattoos are what you would typically see displayed on a lot of tattoo storefronts as it gives you an idea of what tattoo selections are offered.
But let us focus back on flash tattoos and whether they are the right choice for you. Often, customers are torn whether they want to choose a flash tattoo which is already pre-designed, or a custom tattoo which takes time to create.
As previously mentioned, flash tattoos are perfect for those who may not know what they are looking for. Think of it when you go to a hair salon or a barber, and you are given a booklet which offers you inspiration as to what style you want. Flash tattoos work in the same way, where you can see the selection of tattoos available and guide you through with what you may want.
In addition, if you already know what type of tattoo you want, but you are unsure about what style you are interested in, flash tattoos also give you the opportunity to choose the best option. For example, if you are looking for Asian-style tattoos in Toronto, you may get inspiration from our offerings.
But what makes flash tattoos popular is that some Toronto tattoo studios give you the option to customize it to your liking. Many people choose to get a tattoo because it can be a unique embellishment that no one else has. With some flash tattoos, some Toronto tattoo studios only offer some styles for a limited time which makes it more special and unique. It is like almost getting a custom-made tattoo, without the cost.
Lastly, and probably one of the main factors is the cost. Custom-designed tattoos can be expensive, as they take time and effort in creating. With flash tattoos, you immediately know as to what style you are getting it, and how much it would cost. Many may think that custom-designed tattoos may be the best method, but flash tattoos can still provide you with a special tattoo at a fraction of the cost.
With the abundance of Toronto tattoo studios, it may be overwhelming to think about the best choice. At Hon Tattoo, we offer a wide catalogue of tattoos. We are not just a Toronto flash tattoo studio, we also offer custom-designed tattoos.
