FAQ

I’m not a tattooer. What exactly is “flash”? 
Flash is industry lingo for the artwork that you typically see on the walls of a tattoo shop. Flash has been around since the early days of tattooing and provides both directly tattooable designs as well as ideas and inspiration for customizable tattoos. Artwork that is meant to be tattooed is done in a very specific way, taking into consideration composition as well as longevity. Flash is always a better alternative to the generic Google search.

How are the sheets shipped?

I selected priority, why hasn't my order shipped?
Selecting "priority" or other expedited shipping methods will not skip you ahead of those who ordered before you or process your order faster. Orders generally process and ship within 5 business days for flash and 7 days for prints. Once printed we use the shipping method you selected at check out. Delivery estimates are from time of shipment not time of purchase.
 
Why is shipping outside the United States so expensive?
Although we strive to keep shipping prices as low as possible, postal charges are high internationally and contingent on weight. We use real time calculated prices through USPS.

If the international shipping charges end up being less than the posted shipping cost, TFC will refund you the difference.
