They
are most likely to be low-quality and poorly drawn. Nearly 90% of the
people requiring cover-ups or touch-ups to their tattoos have flash
tattoos usually done from some free flash design that has done the
rounds of the internet or from some backstreet tattoo parlours.
What's wrong with flash tattoos?
Flash tattoos are anything but original. They are based on
ready-made, knocked up designs drawn by unknown 'artists' and sold in
hundreds if not thousands of copies, worldwide or downloaded free on
many websites. It's very likely if you get a flash tattoo that somebody
somewhere has the exact same tattoo, most likely done in the exact same
manner and possibly on same area of the body say for example lower back
tribal tattoos.
Flash tattoos have nothing to do with what tattoo art should be which
is creativity and uniqueness and reduces tattooing to little more than
tracing. Flash tattoos lack one other important thing: meaning. They
generally have no meaning to the person getting them done.
Tattoos should reflect a persons life and should at least have some
meaning -- not necessarliy the meaning of the actual design but what it
means to the person receiving it. This is the reason tattoo removal is
big business. Keep in mind that it costs more 10 times the amount to get
a tattoo removed as it does to get it done in the first place.
So if you are looking for tattoo designs forget flash tattoo designs.
If you see free flash tattoo art on some website, or if the tattooist
tells you to pick one from a sheet or 'off the wall' and doesn't draw
your design free hand right in front of you but copies it on a piece of
transparent tracing paper from a notepad go elsewhere. Always ask to see
the tattooists portfolio of custom tattoos before committing to getting
one done.
