Flash sheets: how a wall of drawings built a tradition

From dockside shops to today's studios, flash has always been how tattooers teach, trade and tip their hats to one another. We trace a century of swallows, roses and eagles.

About me

Old-school at heart. Bold lines, solid colour and lettering that still reads in twenty years. Walk-ins welcome on Fridays when the books are open.

Fine line

From tablet to skin

Drawn on the tablet the night before, stencilled in the morning. Fine line lives or dies on the prep.
