About

Our artists’ talents extend far beyond ink. They are always keen to get creative through whatever means possible, from drawing, painting, music, film, comics, and even art collecting. We find that their passion for all kinds of artistic expression really shines through at the design stage of creating your one-off tattoo. After all, it’s our aim to develop something that’s a piece of art in itself.

01

Consultation

Every tattoo begins with a consultation, whether done in person, over the phone, or via email/ Instagram. This is where we discuss your ideas, placement, size, and style, and match you with the right artist for your piece. We’ll also go over any questions you have so you feel completely confident before moving forward.

02

Booking & Deposits

To secure your appointment, we require a deposit. This confirms your booking and allows your artist to begin preparing your design. Deposits are deducted from the final price and are non refundable.

03

Design Process

Your artist will create a custom design based on your brief. In most cases, designs are finalised close to your appointment date, allowing time for adjustments on the day if needed.

04

Your Appointment

On the day, we’ll guide you through the process and make sure you’re comfortable before we begin. All equipment is single-use and sterile, and we follow strict hygiene standards throughout. We’ll take our time to ensure the best possible result — never rushed.

Our Tattoo Styles

BLACK AND GREY

Bare black tattoos, interspersed with some subtle shades of grey for variation, really push the talents of any artist to the limit.
PORTRAIT

They are one of the hardest tattoos to create. Accurate likenesses are difficult to achieve. But luckily, Flashmans has some of the best portrait specialists in the business.
FINE LINE

If you love subtle, refined designs, fine line tattoos are the perfect choice. Created with delicate, precise lines, they offer a clean and understated look while still making an impact through detail and craftsmanship.
TRADITIONAL

Using crisp bold line-work and just a handful of colours, our artists will create a timeless tattoo that will never go out of style.
COLOUR REALISM

Using ink like a painter’s palette, only the skilled can imitate the soft watercolour-like blends of this popular style.
MANDALA

Inspired by this spiritual and ritual symbol that permeates Hinduism and Buddhism, these tattoos use geometric shapes to reflect the structure of the universe.
FULL COLOUR

A unique blend of bright, vibrant colours achieve an eye-catching look. It’s not unusual for our artists to use up to 16 colours per tattoo.
JAPANESE

Tattoos that reflect Oriental culture bring striking colours, bold lines and fascinating heritage to the fore. This style has certainly come a long way from the single needle pushed into the skin.

Tattoo Aftercare

Looking after your tattoo properly is key to how well it heals and how it looks long-term.

Keep your tattoo clean, avoid picking or scratching, and follow the aftercare advice given by your artist. Wash gently with lukewarm water, keep the area lightly moisturised, and avoid soaking, sun exposure, and tight clothing over the area while it heals.

Healing times can vary, but most tattoos settle within 2-4 weeks. If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, we’re always here to help
