[edit]Today's customers rarely pick a design from the wall and have it done in exactly the same size and color. Most tattoos are custom-designed. Nevertheless, tattoo flashes are an excellent departure point for design and style ideas.
Now, this seems a bit non-NPOV, but if something can be cited, it could definately stay. --Threatis 14:20, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- I removed this statement because it simply isn't true. While there seems to be a general movement towards people looking for customized artwork to be placed on their bodies, it is still common place for someone to get a flash tattoo design tattooed exactly as it was originally designed.

- FAR FAR too many tattoo novices still simply pick out "number twelve" or "that cute little dolphin"...a trip to a beach will show many, many, many people with identical Greek Keys, surfer sunburst, yong-yang and Chinese characters that could probably mean "Beef and Brocolli" for all the wearer knows.

[edit]alright, i reverted an edit made by a member called venicebeachtattoos that added a link directed to.... htttp://www.venicebeachtattoos.com. Wikipedia is not free advertisement.
Magazine
[edit]There is a tattoo magazine called 'Flash', pretty classy for the genre. I was surprised to find a total dearth of WP info regarding the aforementioned. If I wasnt currently partially indisposed I'd create a stub article. Anyone else seen this rag or is it really local in its distro? Mr0t1633 (talk) 06:10, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
AI?
[edit]Is it just me, or does the last section on Artificial Intelligence seem AI-generated? Only one citation, em dashes, and something about it just seems... off. TheXug (talk) 19:59, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Agree, removed it. The cited article is also oddly brief and not strong enough on its own to support statements about flash and AI in general.
- This article, and maybe also tattoo artist, might benefit from something brief about tattoo artist and customer approaches to integrating generative AI into the design process, but the available sources I'm seeing are not particularly strong, for example:
- "Are AI Tattoo Generators the Future?" (Popsugar)
- "The Next Platform for AI-Generated Art: Your Bicep" (The Information)
- "AI Tattoo Generators Are Coming For Tattoo Artists" (Huffpost)
