Tattoo Smart is proud bring you Stars & Dots: Traditional Vol. 1 by Craig Brock. When he began work on this project, Craig initially intended to make a flash set for himself with the imagery he loves and uses the most in his tattoos. Inspired by American Traditional themes, and including the most popular neo-traditional motifs, what started as a personal project quickly grew into a toolkit Craig knew could benefit any tattooer working in this style. Within the Procreate set, you will find 100 designs of the most common tattoo requests, ranging in size from small gap-fillers to complete scenes that can be the foundation for large-scale work.

What was once printed on individual sheets and distributed through mail order can now be accessed instantly on your iPad. While the originators of tattoo flash may not have envisioned the technology that would one day revolutionize tattoo design, they nevertheless would have supported the effort to keep up with the growing demand for tattoos of all styles, and the collective effort of the tattoo community to make the process more efficient. Stars & Dots: Traditional Vol. 1 is Craig's contribution to that effort, preserving traditional imagery and applying his own style to modernize both the process and the designs. Using Craig's set, you'll have the opportunity to do the same - work quickly and efficiently, and customize the designs to both your client's requests and your take on traditional tattoo style.

We made this digital flash set for the street shop artists. If your days are filled with one Pinterest tattoo after another, you're going to absolutely love this set!

From the mind of prolific tattooer and painter Damon Conklin, who’s work has spanned a 25-year career, comes SuperGenius Vol. 1, proudly presented by Tattoo Smart.

This complete toolkit of neotraditional stamp images offers you an incredibly wide variety of elements common to tattoos in this style. What started as a set of neotrad skulls and roses quickly spiraled, as projects often do in the minds of super geniuses, into a collection of images that also includes natural elements like moths and leaves, as well as other symbolic accessory elements like eyes, hands, crowns, hearts, lanterns, torches, and wings.

In a time when tattoo flash is finding its rebirth in a digital medium, Damon was excited to develop this new iteration to complement the vast collection of flash he has created for the tattoo community over the decades. These neotraditional designs provide a foundation for some of the most popular or commonly requested elements. Tattooers can use them, just like Damon’s print flash, to arrange compositions, then redraw designs to carry their own artistic voice in the final tattoo design.

A must for any tattooer’s Procreate design tool kit, these versatile birds can be used for nearly any style tattoo design. Each flash stamp was drawn to represent the most interesting angle of the bird, whether flying or perched, trying to capture a wide-range of species that are typically interesting for clients.

Each stamp design includes highly detailed feather lines that can be customized depending on the style of your tattoo design. Unlike direct reference images, these designs have been thoughtfully edited and composed to include the visual information specific to a tattoo.

Use the stamps as-is for realism or illustrative designs that require a high level of detail in your stencil. You can easily redraw the linework for neo-traditional tattoos. These standard designs could be used as flash, as elements in a larger composition with other Tattoo Smart elements for rapid prototyping, or as stand-ins for birds you that would require your further research and refinement. As part of your digital toolkit, The Aviary images represent a useful collection that you will want to have accessible quickly based on your clients’ interests.

Now available: tatTOONS Vol. 1 by Frank La Natra stamp set + eBook! Implement Frank's lessons right away with his character design stamp set for Procreate and Clip Studio Paint. 

Frank La Natra is one of those rare talents that could've easily been scooped up by Disney or Pixar to help make the next Toy Story. Instead, he chose to focus his energy on the craft of tattooing, and we're lucky he did. Every single one of Frank's animation-influenced character designs are a study in conveying emotion, depth, and story. In an effort to share his knowledge with his peers in the tattoo community, Frank La Natra is now offering a LIVE seminar at various conventions across the USA and beyond. During this 4 hour class he details the fundamental building blocks for designing great characters.

This eBook is the visual companion to Frank's Fundamentals of Character Design workshop.  It contains most of the images and graphics that support the discussion during the LIVE class.

If you were fortunate enough to be present for one of Frank's LIVE workshops, you would be able to hear all of the great detail that a verbal discussion with Frank provides. Some day, we hope to bring you a video recording of one of those LIVE workshops so you can get the full picture that Frank is trying to convey. 

However, when we saw the fantastic illustrations that Frank had created for his Character Design seminar, we knew we had to compile them into an eBook and make it available on its own through Tattoo Smart.

Deep in the Tattoo Smart archives, we encounter the birds of The Lost Aviary. A companion to the first Aviary set, these familiar fowl could not be caged, and this flash set presents the birds from different perspectives and new angles. Each  stamp was drawn to represent the most interesting angles of the bird, whether flying or perched, trying to capture a wide-range of species that are typically interesting for clients.

Each stamp design includes highly detailed feather lines that can be customized depending on the style of your tattoo design. Unlike direct reference images, these designs have been thoughtfully edited and composed to include the visual information specific to a tattoo.

Use the stamps as-is for realism or illustrative designs that require a high level of detail in your stencil. You can easily redraw the linework for neo-traditional tattoos. These standard designs could be used as flash, as elements in a larger composition with other Tattoo Smart elements for rapid prototyping, or as stand-ins for birds you that would require your further research and refinement. As part of your digital toolkit, The Aviary images represent a useful collection that you will want to have accessible quickly based on your clients’ interests.

When Tattoo Smart launched the original Liners & Mags brush set in 2016, we created a bridge between the physical craft of tattooing and the digital art tools that tattooers were learning to love.

The Needle Set by Russ Abbott is the next evolution of that bridge, introducing new options within the set based on the feedback from thousands of tattooers in our community, and refining the functionality to utilize advancements in Procreate.

In short, we're revolutionizing the foundational digital tattoo design toolkit. Again.

When you open The Needle Set on your iPad, it might seem overly simple at first. We designed it that way on purpose - so it feels as intuitive and natural to use as your favorite machine. Your familiar tattoo process - lining, shading, then coloring - is how you'll use this set, and Russ has precisely created each brush to mimic the liner, shader, or magnum needles you use everyday. Even the color settings of each brush are finely tuned to perform how actual tattoo pigment works, with darker colors covering light but not vice versa.

Each digital liner brush has a smooth taper in and out, simulating the solid consistency of your best linework. The mag brushes respond to pressure and movement precisely, allowing you to render your designs exactly as you'll want to tattoo them. Use them to quickly pack color in your design, or create a long taper to whip or feather an edge. The round shaders are perfect for creating a soft finish or for touching up areas of shading using a mag brush, just like in real life. New to this set,  the stipple brushes are the closest digital brushes you'll find for recreating stippling in tattooing, or as a cool texture for any digital art.

Who is The Needle Set designed for? Well, everyone. But more specifically, tattooers who are continually learning and honing their craft and their design skills will find this set to have everything they need to push themselves and their process to each next level. Tattooers who are new to iPads and Procreate will be able to quickly apply their tattoo process to a digital medium. Apprentices and new tattooers will be able to practice the physical strokes and design process they'll need as they learn to tattoo.

Tattoo Smart's goal is to constantly expand the capabilities of what tattooers can do with technology, and we are proud to present the most advanced, intuitive, multi-functional digital needle toolkit for the tattoo community.

The Oracles by Rockin' Rabbit is a collection of 50 powerful female archetypes. These flash stamps for Procreate are sure to inspire your inner design wisdom with women from across the globe and throughout history. Rockin' Rabbit uses her unique style to breathe new life into these ancient and modern women, from Aphrodite and Persephone to Kali and Green Tara. The Oracles are beautiful as blackwork or with color - the choice is yours.

Andrew Borisyuk, encouraged by the tremendous feedback on The Rose Kit and inspired by the natural forms of another incredibly popular floral tattoo subject, created The Peony Kit Vol. 1 for Procreate. Featuring complete peony designs, buds, and leaves, this set is not only a versatile tool for modeling and composing realism, illustrative, neo-traditional, or blackwork peony tattoos in limitless arrangements, but it is also a study in botany itself.

Rooted in a study of natural peonies, Andrew created The Peony Kit to make translating their complicated 3D shapes and forms into 2D designs on your iPad more efficient. Capturing how each petal is shaped, modeling the entire form from a variety of angles, and presenting these flowers in a range of bloomed shapes, Andrew developed an illustrative flash set that is both incredibly useful and versatile. You can use the flash stamps to try different layouts of these flowers, stems, and buds, or add them to larger compositions, understanding how each flower’s placement and perspective adds depth and interest to your tattoo.

With 100 flower components, The Peony Kit is a great toolkit for creating tattoo designs and learning how to draw and compose this iconic tattoo subject!

The Realism Cheat Code is the ultimate tool for anyone using a reference for shading and color rendering. Your designs will never look "off" again. Make the right decisions, the first time.

The Realism Cheat Code is a .procreate file that allows you to visualize and distinguish between different value layers within a reference image. Isolate precise areas of each shade. Understand the complexity and value range while you design.

Here's what others have to say about The Realism Cheat Code:

I'm currently working on a tiger tattoo design, and the Realism Cheat Code has been a game-changer. I was able to see areas where I needed to make tweaks to the value levels of my reference image. It's been incredibly helpful in identifying areas where the face of the tiger isn't dark enough, for example. - Robert, LAUNCHPAD member

I think the most useful part is setting the effect of the contrast. I feel like I see a lot of black and gray tattoos that are really good, but are lacking contrast. There's not enough black and there's not enough skin. So I feel like this is a really easy way to just see it in, black and white. - Brooke, LAUNCHPAD member

Tattoo Smart is excited to introduce the newest toolkit in our Procreate collection: The Rose Kit by Andrew Borisyuk. Featuring complete rose designs, as well as hundreds of component options, The Rose Kit is the stamp set you’ll come back to again and again to create limitless variations on the most popular flower tattoo imagery.

From individual petals to complete stamp designs, The Rose Kit is unique to any Procreate set available, used for rose design scenarios from completely custom to flash stamps. For a fully custom rose built from the center outward, begin with one of the 30 rose bases. Given the variety of center options, you can select the base angled in the direction you want to build your rose in small or large tattoo compositions. Decide how full of a rose bloom you want to create by adding just a few front or side petals for a more closed rose or numerous petals for a more open appearance. You can chose from a range of side petals, from pointed and angular to softer and rounded, to develop aesthetically different roses each time.

Stop there to include just the flower in your design, or add individual leaves, leaf clusters, full or spare stems, for additional elements as the design scenario requires. For drafting or walk-in requests, the full rose stamps are stencil-ready for quick use. Customize them by modifying the stamps by switching out a petal or two, adding an extra leaf grouping, or substituting a banner with a stem.

With hundreds of individual components, The Rose Kit is the ultimate collection for creating realism, illustrative, neo-traditional, or blackwork tattoo designs of this iconic tattoo subject!

Tattoo Smart is thrilled to bring you The Snake Kit by Andrew Borisyuk, a toolkit in our Procreate collection. Unlike flash sets, this complex brush set allows you to apply your foundational knowledge of snake form and movement, saving you time and allowing you to expand the complexity of your designs.

Featuring scale repeater brushes for top-down snakes, belly composition brushes for more coiled layouts, snake heads, and more, this kit will allow you to take the deceptively simple 3D shape of a snake and translate it to a tattoo design in a nearly limitless array of styles and options.

Snakes are a timeless tattoo subject, representing different themes in nearly every major artistic and tattoo style. They can be used as a bold, dramatic element, whether on their own as a minimalist blackwork tattoo or as the main subject of a bodysuit design. Drawing snakes, however, can prove challenging, and their form and movement require advanced compositional knowledge to accurately translate into 2D.

The Snake Kit includes both repeater brushes and stamp brushes to enable you to create Procreate designs of snakes, from traditional to realistic. Using the body composer brushes, you can draw top-down views of snakes with patterns that could also be used for koi fish, dragons, or other serpents. Follow the tutorial for step-by-step instructions.

While they are seemingly simple - an elongated tube that tapers on one end - snakes present a design challenge in that they have a top and a bottom, and a variable width. Using the belly composer brushes, you can visualize how the snake curves in 3D space, keeping its back and belly visually accurate, and creating dimension and foreshortening to make your composition dynamic. Where the Procreate repeater brush capability stops, Andrew has enabled you to add more dynamic coils and twists to your snake bodies with a series of segment stamps. Use them as a foundation to the design or to wrap the serpent around other elements.

To finish your snake design, the kit comes complete with dozens of snake and cobra head stamps, reflecting a range of "emotion" and actions. The faces' angles and perspectives make them easily adaptable to almost any snake drawing, again in a variety of styles.

With dozens of individual components, The Snake Kit Vol. 1 is the ultimate collection for creating realism, illustrative, neo-traditional, or blackwork tattoo designs of this iconic tattoo subject!

The Spitshade Set by Russ Abbott contains a variety of natural media brushes for Procreate, meticulously created, tested, and refined. When combined with our hand-stained watercolor digital paper files, these tools allow you realistically replicate traditional tattoo-style spit shade painting.Spitshading has been a mainstay of traditional tattoo flash painting since the early days. Like traditional tattooing, the spit shade technique begins with a black outline using dip pens and permanent markers, followed by black shading in short blends, and finally a simple application of color. Over the years, a clear preference for specialized watercolor paper has emerged, with a tea or coffee stain treatment sometimes applied before painting.

The Spitshade Set is the ultimate toolkit for digital watercolor. The papers in this set feature unique textures and staining application that can only be achieved with analog methods.  Russ hand stained each paper himself then used advanced photography techniques to create consistent lighting and texture for the entire canvas. With 33 papers to choose from, you can experiment with different stain intensities and patterns until you find the perfect look for your final design.

Russ created the brushes in the Spitshade Set with the same care and scrutiny as the paper texture canvases. By employing the latest settings in Procreate, Russ was able to develop a set of extremely flexible brushes that utilize the full extent of the brush engines in your favorite design software. Experiment with the opacity, pressure, and angle of your Apple Pencil to fully realize the potential for expressive mark making with these brushes. The brushes and canvases in the Spitshade Set enable you to recreate your spitshading workflow, design style, and final product, regardless of your analog technique.

Magic Spitshader - A happy discovery during the creation of The Spitshade Set, this brush provides a single, versatile tool for applying AND blending black and colors with that authentic “spitshade” edge quality. For a subtle, smoother variation, try “Spittin' Image.”

Get the most authentic spitshade painting aesthetic utilizing the versatility and functionality of digital design tools with the Spitshade Set!
