The artists.

Three residents, three different hands. Look for the style you keep saving; books open month by month, and a closed book has a waitlist.

  • Rosa, a tattoo artist with dark curly hair, tattooing a client's arm in red gloves

    Rosa Quintero

    Owner

    Fine line, botanical, ornamental

    Rosa opened Flash in 2016 after ten years in other people's shops. She draws flowers the way botanists do, then makes them sit right on the body.

    Books open for October

  • Dario, a tattooed artist in a white T-shirt, standing with his arms crossed

    Dario Mendes

    Resident artist

    American traditional, bold color, blackwork

    Bold lines, a small palette, and designs that still read from across the room in twenty years. Dario draws most of the flash on the wall.

    Books closed until January

  • Wren, a tattoo artist with long hair, working on a client's wrist at a padded arm rest

    Wren Hallow

    Resident artist

    Linework, small pieces, cover-ups

    Wren does the delicate work, from single-needle script to careful cover-ups. The artist to see for a first tattoo.

    Books open for November

How a custom piece happens.

Four steps, no surprises. Most custom work is on skin within three weeks of the consult.

  1. Consult

    Twenty minutes, free, in person or on a call. Bring references, a placement and a rough size.

  2. Deposit

    A $100 deposit holds your date and comes off the final price.

  3. Drawing

    Your artist draws the piece and shows it to you the day before. Changes are welcome.

  4. Session

    Stencil, placement check, then the needle. You leave with aftercare and a touch-up promise.

Tell us the idea.

Send a few references, where on the body, and roughly how big. We reply within two days with an artist and a consult time.

  • A $100 deposit holds your date and comes off the price of the tattoo.
  • Walk-in flash Fridays and Saturdays, noon until the sheet runs out.
  • 18+ only, with photo ID. No exceptions, not even with a parent.
