Flash Tattoos

Flash tattoos are basically tattoo designs drawn on a sheet of paper or cardboard, for the purpose of display or exhibition, to give people an idea about the variety of designs. Customarily flash tattoos were put up by tattooists, in their own shop or traded amongst each other. Today, however hand-drawn tattoo designs are quite rare, and therefore tattooists make several photocopies of the hand-drawn ones, for selling their designs in their shops or over Internet. A set of flash tattoos may or may not have outline drawn and they are classically drawn on separate sheets of paper. This is more convenient for a tattooist, as it saves him the trouble of drawing an outline. When it comes to assortment of designs, there is hardly a limit. One can have designs of dragons, fishes, angels, butterflies, suns and moons, skulls, armbands, letters or words, numbers, flowers, cartoons, tribal animals, wings, mermaids, planets, and the list is endless. No matter which design or symbol one decides to get on the body, there are lots of facts one has to keep in mind. Get it done from a professional tattoo artist; never expose the tattooed area to direct sunlight, as this could lighten it. Leave the bandage on for at least 12 to 14 hours, till the skin is completely healed and make sure the skin isn't bleeding. The tattooed skin should not be submerged in water for extended periods of time. On the other hand, if one has some skin infection, skin disorder, even allergies or diabetes, one must get medical consultation before planning to get a tattoo done.
