So I recently noticed that an older post I did where I included tattoo flash has been getting a lot of hits continuously since I originally posted it back in April. After mulling over how to put all this new traffic to good use, I decided to launch a new feature every Friday: FLASH FRIDAYS!
Basically, I’ll create a new tattoo flash design every week and post it here on Friday. I’ll also include a nice big black and white image that you can download (right click – view image-right click-save image as) and are welcome to use if you want a tattoo or you are a tattoo artist looking for more flash to offer your customers. I only have a few humble requests :
- If you use one of my tattoo images for a tattoo, please send me a pic of the work on your body so I can post it here. Email it to me.
- If you like the work and intend to use it, you’re free to download it! I’m not charging anything for the work but do please consider making a small donation in return. Whatever you think is fair. It can be five buck, fifty bucks or five hundred!
- You don’t have to (and I just wouldn’t recommend it) tattooing my artist’s signature on your person. It’s just going to be on these posts because an artist needs to sign their work, am I right?
Ok! That’s it! Hopefully you will all enjoy this new feature here at Magic Inkwell. Who knows, maybe I’ll be getting an email with a pic of someone with a tattoo I designed sooner than I think!
This week’s image is a take on the classic Lady Luck motif. I’m a huge fan of old school tattooing and this one was a real treat for me to work on (even though it did take me all of Thursday’s daylight hours to complete!)
Here’s the lineart:
Cat, thanks for showing me the original art to this (and the upcoming web comic pages) last night — this is a terrific idea, and expect it to be much-imitated in the months to come!
steve, you’re welcome! i’m just excited about collecting them into flash books i could maybe sell to shops later on or at tatt conventions (making just enough money for the trip and a new tattoo!! ha ha!)
Let’s talk — I’ve got some zombie flash drawings in the archives I could excavate.
