Over 640 full color examples of tattoo designs (flash) celebrate the rich heritage of tattoo legends Stoney St. Claire, Burchett, Cap Coleman, Percy Water, Paul Rogers, Owen James and others. The heritage of traditional American tattooing is extensive and rich, encompassing unique design motifs and themes that represent the desires, loves, and ambitions both of the artists and the individuals who adorn their bodies with these artworks. Despite its significance, this authentic folk art form is often underappreciated. In this book, the author pays homage to renowned American tattoo artists such as Paul Rogers, Leonard "Stoney" St. Clair, George Burchett, August "Cap" Coleman, Percy Waters, Owen James, and others. The author meticulously studied their works and distilled their classic styles into five distinct colors: black, red, yellow, green, and brown. The book showcases over 640 individual flash designs, both classic designs by the author and collaborative works with other tattoo designers, all presented in vivid color. This impressive collection serves as a celebration of the traditional American tattooing tradition and a tribute to the hope that it will continue to thrive as an authentic folk art. Review: Buy it! - Must have for any tattooer or apprentice. Tons of redraws of classic flash in tilt's style. This book has been a starting point for a lot of newer up and comers. Review: Great book, not as racist as people say. - Saw a few reviews reporting this title for “racist imagery” and swastikas. I would just like to point out that the reverse swastika, especially in red which is seen in this book is actually a symbol for luck. Of course I wouldn’t tattoo it on anyone but people misunderstood I felt. Also the n-word reference in it is actually depicting a black hand hanging a klansman, and was drawn by a black artist. So maybe do your research before assuming. There are some “inappropriate” designs, but this is an adult medium and subject, so I think that’s to be expected. Great book, just not for kids.

good flash
this book has some good flash. good detail, of course it's old school so it's pretty plain- but good for what it is. most of the flash is actually done recently but in the old school style. good pics, some of it is comical. i'm keeping this one in my library of fun books/good flash for subject ideas. there are only a handful of pics in this book i would make stencils directly from, but lots of good ideas that could be re-drawn for great effects. worth the $16 bucks or so, IMO. have fun with it for what it is.

Awesome flash for the price.
Awesome flash book for the price. mix of original and reworked designs by stoney st clair, Percy waters and other classic tattooers. I'd suggest saving time and buying both books at once. All images presented clearly and well painted by hand. The artist mixes up the book by doing split sheets with other artists so the variety is really good throughout.I really can't say enough about how cool this book is for the price.
