Flash Tattoo Days!
Ask a Question
Have you ever done a Flash Tattoo Day? What did you get?
I did my first one today that was hosted for Friday 13th.
Never had a flash tattoo. I only have one that I’ve had now for many years. Like your tattoos 
Never done a flash day, but I had this today, start of greek mythology leg sleeve
martinlufc5637 That's really good! Have you been watching Kaos on Netflix?
Imnotcheap As far as know it’s is where tattoo artist have special offers on one day to bring in new clients ( or repeat ones) so that they get ‘addicted ‘ and come back again.
eyeballkerry never heard of that. Will have to check if my guy has website and see if he does it. Although I do like to plan them out in advance
Imnotcheap it's when they do walk-ins without an appointment, normally small tattoos costing £10 to £30
martinlufc5637 sounds good. I'll have to see if any do them local. I can plan a small one then wait for next flash day
I wondered why there was a queue was outside the local tattoo shop today.Not mad on tattoos.People tend to overdo them.
I have never attend a specific flash day, but I have had bits of people's flash sheets cos I think they look cool! Your tattoo looks really cute 
I've seen some artists have some beautiful work ready to tattoo, but I personally love tattoos that have a personal meaning or that help me grieve etc. I'm not one for anything massive. Although I'd love to be able to afford and pull off sleeves. I appreciate the work and talent but sadly you have to take out a mortgage for some 
DeBunny It really depends on everyones budget when it comes to tattoos. People may spend more on their hobbies like sports, video games or going on holiday and I like to spend on my tattoos
My daughter has a few tattoos and I was considering it myself but then she told me about the pain. I have blood tests regularly and that’s enough for me.
eyeballkerry I find it depends on where they done. Not had an issue with pain myself
Imnotcheap I feel the pain from one needle when I get a blood test, daughters does not think I will be able to get one, it would have to be very small. I did want one on my wedding ring finger as I can not wear a wedding ring.
eyeballkerry I'm not good with blood tests myself. Tattoo are voluntary only get one if it doesn't cause anxiety and it's what you really want
eyeballkerry I had one done on my forearm in June, I have had tattoos before but only small ones and I'm not the biggest fan of the pain/burn so I bought some TKXT numbing cream and honesty I didn't feel a thing for the bigger one on my forearm! I kept saying to my tattoo artist 'I can't believe I can't feel a thing' 
my arm was still numb at 7pm and I put the cream on at 9am!
I'm booked in for another one on my ribs 
which I will 100% be using numbing cream!
eyeballkerry use the TKXT numbing cream...I promise you will not feel a thing! Buy it from the official website though as there's lots of fakes. It's the cream the tattoo artists recommend
PinkElephant26 I have never heard of this. I will definitely look it up and explore. Thanks for letting me know
eyeballkerry you're welcome, it can be used for other things too like piercings and having bloods done 
I've added the link, I used the black (strong) because I'm I'm wimp
kate1310 thank you, it represents my children. Ever since they were born they acquired a nickname each...Mole, Tiger & Bee so it seemed fitting (and cute)
eyeballkerry Just think that if the pain was so bad, people wouldn't have multiple ones! I think before you get one, it can get into your head a bit about the pain and after you wonder what you were worried about!
As someone else suggested, numbing cream/spray is an option but always discuss this with your artist before hand
I have never heard of a flash tattoo Day I don't have any tattoos I do love them on other people especially the leg and arm sleeves yours looks lovely
kate1310 Thank you! The one above is Twilight and this one is from The Shining.
I have a few.. six in total , I’ve got back, two on wrists 1 on hand and another two on my stomach / hip area. Never heard of flash tattoo day though..
