FAQs
WHAT IS FLASH?
Flash tattoos are pre-designed artwork ready to be tattooed as-is. They’re typically displayed on the walls of the shop or on our website. You pick a design, we tattoo it — simple, fast, and affordable.
HOW MUCH DO TATTOOS COST?
Our flash designs range from $44 for micro tattoos to $80-$150 for larger pieces. Prices are listed on each design. No hidden fees, no surprises.
DO I NEED AN APPOINTMENT?
Nope! Walk-ins are always welcome. But if you want to guarantee your spot (especially on weekends), book online here.
DO YOU OFFER TOUCH-UPS?
Yes! If your tattoo needs a touch-up within the first 3 months, come back and we’ll fix it for free. After that, touch-ups are available at a reduced rate.
CAN I CUSTOMIZE A DESIGN?
Flash is meant to be tattooed as-is, but small tweaks (size adjustments, placement changes) are usually fine. If you want something fully custom, let us know.
DO YOU ACCEPT CUSTOM DESIGNS?
We specialize in flash, but we’re happy to discuss custom work. DM us on Instagram @nyctats with your idea.
WHAT IS A MICRO TATTOO?
Micro tattoos are tiny, minimalist designs — usually under an inch. Perfect for fingers, behind the ear, or inner wrist. Our micros start at $44.
HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE?
You must be 18 or older with valid government-issued ID. No exceptions, no parental consent — it’s New York State law.
WHAT ABOUT BUNDLE DEALS?
Get multiple flash tattoos and save: 2 designs → 10% off, 3+ designs → 15% off. First tattoo? Walk-in special: 20% off.
DO YOU TAKE WALK-INS?
Absolutely! Walk-ins are always welcome. First-timers get 20% off their first flash tattoo.
WHAT PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
Cash, all major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Tips are appreciated but never required.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY TATTOO?
Keep it clean, don’t pick at it, avoid swimming/sun for 2 weeks, and moisturize once it starts to peel. Your artist will give you full aftercare instructions.
