At our infamous flash day events, you can walk in, pick a design and get tattooed there and then. It's not for everybody but it makes tattooing feel like a community, which it really is! People like to come by if they have a spare afternoon, or grab a matching tattoo with visiting friends. Flash days always have a great atmosphere and theres usually some sweet treats being passed around.
What is Flash - Flash is pre drawn tattoo designs, depending on the artist who drew them some are repeatable and others are one off, (this will be made clear when youre making your choice). At BHTC our walls and stacks of books are filled to the brim with flash drawn and painting by our artists, we also have a few fun ways where fate can decide for you. See our Tattoo Roulette page for info.
What happens on the day - Walk in, pick a design and get tattooed. Simple as that. If theres a queue we can usually give you a time to come back, so you can grab a coffee or have a mooch while you wait. The only rules are - First come, first served. 18+ only. No custom work. When we're done, we're done! Try and get in early, or if not - give us a call and see if we can fit anyone else in.
We always hold these walk in events on dates that appear in the tattoo calender. ANY Friday the 13th is a tradition within tattooing, while halloween and our studio anniversary are ones that we've made BHTC staples. Once a year we hold a charity flash event, where every penny is donated to the cause we are tattooing for. This year in one afternoon we raised £1,000 for Unicef's children in Gaza appeal. This year was also the first year we did St Patrick's day and we have added it to our yearly roster. Keep on eye on instagram or check back here for all flash day announcements.
