Flash Stamps

2020 UPDATE:

After incredibly positive feedback for his Peonies flash toolkit, Wes updated this set to include more peony head and leaf options, as well as 10 new designs of peonies coupled with some of the most commonly requested pairings. These designs are useful immediately as flash, and as a way to learn how Wes uses the shape and flow of his peonies to complement and balance compositions with other elements.Since the beginning of his tattoo career, Wes Holland has been interested in the imagery and designs of traditional Japanese and neo-Japanese tattoos. Blending that imagery with his own illustrative style Wes developed this digital tattoo flash stamp set of 69 peony stamps. There are 25 heads, based on both illustrative and real-life botan, that form the foundation of the design. You can add the bulbs, leaf clusters, and individual leaves to suit your client's request or placement needs. To make composition quicker and to learn how the elements of peony designs are arranged, Wes also included several stamps of complete flash designs with heads, bulbs, and leaves. Like all Tattoo Smart flash stamp sets, these peonies for Procreate and Clip Studio Paint are designed to compliment the workflow of any artist and be useful for projects of all sizes.Tattoo Smart gives you the digital flash tools to speed up the process of conceptualizing and rendering time-consuming elements, allowing you to spend more time focusing on the composition of your tattoo design.

Japanese Vol. 3 by Adam Machin represents the aesthetic progression to his own style of Japanese tattooing, with a strong reliance on the traditional irezumi foundations.

Featuring many of the gods of Japanese folklore, this set provides an incredible toolkit to create tattoo designs with these figures articulated in a modern way. To further customize the creatures, the set comes with arm and leg variations that can be used with the Fujin, Raijin, or Oni stamps. The gods and creatures in this set are expressed in such a way that they convey the theme while also considering the conventions of the tattoo history they belong to.Japanese Vol. 3 also features tigers and dragons, two of the most popular subjects in Japanese tattooing with deep religious and cultural symbolism. In his set, Adam provides not only complete tiger and dragon designs, but also individual leg and head components so you can adjust each to fit your composition. These stylized heads and legs give you more options for placement, and also allow you to quickly try different poses or angles to see how composition and fit can be subtly changed for maximum effect.In this toolkit, Adam also provides you with other popular animals like frogs, toads, goldfish, and koi, elements like rope, waves, and fire stamps, as well as peaches and peonies to complete your tattoo design.

Dor, along with his mentor Alexey, demonstrated a refined understanding of foundational tattoo design aesthetic that sparked the idea of a Tattoo Smart collaboration.Russ asked Dor to focus that drive to create and his understanding of the Japanese tattoo vocabulary to create this foundational set of stamps for Procreate.Dor’s Japanese Vol. 2 stamp set presents a range of elements that are recognizably, albeit simplified, Japanese.

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.

This flash stamp set reflects months of America’s work, researching, drawing, and endlessly re-drawing these simple tattoo designs until they made a clean, cohesive set. Before they were Instagram-famous and Pinterest-popular, small designs were often a client’s introduction to tattoos. We have seen them become marginalized, an inside joke of sorts, and we occasionally lose sight of the appeal of a small tattoo. With this set, you can cater to your walk-in clientele with their requests immediately on hand. Better than the designs they’re coming in with on their cell phones, this set includes stencil-ready images that can be customized for each client.

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!
