How to Create SPOOKY Tattoo Flash Designs for Halloween

Halloween Flash Design Ideas

Simple Three-Pumpkin Design

The main design we’ll work off of for this article is three pumpkins. You’ll start out with some circles, just mapping out your design. Keep your circles kind of small, about the size of a half-dollar. 

For Halloween flash sales, you’ll want to stick to designs that don’t take too long and potentially can be done with one needle, like a 7 Round Liner, so you don’t have to spend time switching out multiple needles for one tattoo. 

With this design, we’ll start with three pumpkins with different kinds of faces that you can build off of and develop into your own style. The possibilities are endless – you could add a little Jason mask, Freddy hands, or really anything to do with Halloween.

Adding Details

For this article, we’ll add in some leaves using stamps available in Procreate and talk you through things to keep in mind as you work on your flash designs.

You’ll notice that we drew over the original stamps to add in details like the curved lines of pumpkins to make them look more realistic. You can also see that we added detail to the edges of the leaves to make them look a little more like they have fallen. 

When you’re putting together your design, pay attention to the way the lines match up together so that your design makes sense and looks good as a whole.

Drawing is Important

To create good, quick flash designs, it’s really important to be able to draw and to practice drawing whenever you can. If you have a good grip on drawing, you’ll be able to crank out some good flash designs to sell during different holiday seasons and when business slows down a little. 

Prepare for a Tattooing Career with the Artist Accelerator Program

Learning how to draw tattoo designs is an important step in your journey, but it can also be pretty eye-opening to how difficult tattooing can be. Without the right knowledge, it’s impossible to level up your skills and become a professional tattoo artist. 

However, finding the straight-forward information you need to progress is difficult. And with so much out there online, it’s hard to avoid picking up bad habits from incorrect and outdated resources.
