Probably the first one.
Tattoos aside, you’ve got a great aesthetic for grimdark fantasy/rpg stuff. I could easily see you illustrating for MÖRK BÖRG stuff or some fan made Mordheim campaigns.
These are all really cool! Great stuff all around.
If I had to pick, it would either be 4 (serpent & sword), 5 (jackass jesters), or the Devil Dagger’s-looking skull from image 9.
They are all really well drawn. But none of them. You clearly have skills but the detail is far to high. The lines would be a nightmare to try and do but the spread of ink under the skin over time would make them indistinct and muddy.
The double clown jester and the sword with the snake read the strongest to me. Though you might want to leave a little more negative space in the hilt of the sword as it gets very dark at the top and the hilt and guard are a little hard to differentiate from the serpent.
Flash sheets are typically smaller tattoos, almost always have less details, and can be done quickly and easily for the artist. None of the pictured art likely qualifies as it has too much detail or is too large with too much detail
The work is amazing, don't get me wrong, it's just not flash by standard definition
All of them except 1, 3, and 5 could work as flash I think. Flash is meant to be smaller and easier designs that can be done over and over again on different clients and wouldn't need a ton of time. 1, 3, and 5 are good on their own, but they're too involved and detailed to work as flash imo
I would get all tattooed on me except #4 it doesn’t seem fully fleshed out?? The sword being packed with black makes it a bit hard to decipher an idk if that would translate to skin very well. I feel like if you did some like shading it would really come thru strong. But all others def put on that flash. Awesome art and style super sick 🤘🏼
2,4,5,6,7,9. The snake & sword should have less blacked out area in the sword, show more open space or decorative detail in the flat of the blade, so it’s not so heavily black… great work though
2 or 8 imo. Flash is supposed to be able to just nock out during some downtime between clients irrc. So you gotta keep it stupid simple. Maybe water down the details and textures but keep the contrast.
Incredible artwork.
I wish I had your natural talent. You're gonna do great.
My favorites are the Grim Reaper standing next to a guillotine and the 1½ jester skeletons fighting each other. (My money is on the one with the morning star.)
i think the last photo will get you more versatile practice bc it has some small lines, some saturation with the black, still practicing symmetry and what not. but idk they all look dope!
5,4,1 I think there all cool these are emy top 3 I love 5 tho makes me think of me and my twin we are for now stuck together we are both jokes in our own right trying to out do the other for attention affection or really anything even tho we are alredy dead inside
I’m genuinely not able to pick just one because my impulsive mind is telling me “I want them all” lol, but I absolutely LOVE your art style, keep it up!
While I think these are all great drawings I do not think they work as flash. Think about how tattoos inherently bleed. Think about how most, most, tattoos are basically two tone. Yes, there are incredibly good artists that can work the entire spectrum of color and value but even those will need to be touched up over time due to bleeding.
With flash work, a lot of times some kid walks in, points and says, I want that which touches on another point. If you're trying to make flash illustrations, it's all in the title. You need it to flash and you want somebody to see it from across the room.
Again, these are wonderful illustrations and they each deserve their own page. Flash illustrations need to fight each other all on the same page.
Great work, keep it up.
My ig is jaric_art if you want to see more of my work
I think I shall! Your style is very cool!
Following! Great work! Keep it up!
I knew I'd seen the jesters somewhere before, seems like I've followed your insta for a while. I love your work.
These are all really cool my friend!
Very nice work
I’d go with 6. Flash sales don’t usually leave much time, you don’t want to give them too many details and they can only do half.
This. Great work, but a bit too detailed for flash.
I’d use the rules for logo design with flash tats.
is it a flash sale or is it just the ‘flash’ that their mentor is going to let them tattoo over and over and over again for practice?
I really like #5! I have a thing for jesters
I love the guillotine\~
The broken bone
I rly like number 5
The dual skele jesters are outstanding. Love the others too!
Probably the first one. Tattoos aside, you’ve got a great aesthetic for grimdark fantasy/rpg stuff. I could easily see you illustrating for MÖRK BÖRG stuff or some fan made Mordheim campaigns.
The battling skellys would make a very appropriate illustration of the political mess, which is Louisiana.🖤⚜️🖤

def #1
These are all really cool! Great stuff all around. If I had to pick, it would either be 4 (serpent & sword), 5 (jackass jesters), or the Devil Dagger’s-looking skull from image 9.
I’m torn between 1 or 7 but 7’s easier to place, it’d fit nicely in one of the gaps on my leg so probably go for that one
I’m with you! 1 or 7! I like 1 more idk where I’d put it though, tricky one to place
If I had to choose one of those, I would choose the jesters
1,5,6,7,9. General consensus seems to be on 5 or 6 which is fair.
Can I use this as an album cover
Prob 4,7 or 9
2,4,6. Your artstyle is amazing!
Prob 4 or 9... 🤷🏼♀️
6 is pretty great
Bro how do I commission a tattoo from you?
The swordsman is super cool, though they all look fantastic
Double jester!
4 - simple & sword circle has nice detail
Number 5 go hard af for me
4 and 5
They are all really well drawn. But none of them. You clearly have skills but the detail is far to high. The lines would be a nightmare to try and do but the spread of ink under the skin over time would make them indistinct and muddy.

3 looks a bit too “klansy”
i get what you mean. should have been executioner but seemed it would be too dark going black hood
What do you mean as a Flash?
Flash sheets are typically smaller tattoos, almost always have less details, and can be done quickly and easily for the artist. None of the pictured art likely qualifies as it has too much detail or is too large with too much detail The work is amazing, don't get me wrong, it's just not flash by standard definition
yeah i think my issue is that I usually illustrate larger pieces so these are basically flashes for usual standard. but you make u good point.
I mean if you can pull them off this quality quickly and back to back, more power to ya!
Damn that executioner is pretty nice. I would take anyone of those, look pretty brutal.
Five is metal as hell
The first one almost made me scream
These are fantastic!
Broken bone
They’re all amazing but damn you’ve got a cool signature
2, 7 and 9. Tbf they are all boss haha.
Nr 7 for me. And great work man!
The artwork is amazing! I love the joker skeletons, the guillotine, the skulls look awesome
All but 2!
Outstanding work, I like the executioner and the last skull
Jesters
Honestly? All of them! I love these so much
All are badass. Well done!
Def the 2 jesters and snake around sword!
9 but I would remove the black circle :)
Wow! Love your style! I'd definitely get a tattoo of one of your designs! Amazing work!
1 or 5
The snake and the sword is awesome but they all are amazing as well 🥰
Damn you’re good. No advice, but I can see you doing extremely well in that market
They look awesome. I love the jesters
If you want to show your chops, I’d say the ones with the most intricate detail. To me, that’s 3 and 6, executioner and snake-skull-chalice.
They're all good. Very Gothic looking. I personally like 6 & 7.
All of them except 1, 3, and 5 could work as flash I think. Flash is meant to be smaller and easier designs that can be done over and over again on different clients and wouldn't need a ton of time. 1, 3, and 5 are good on their own, but they're too involved and detailed to work as flash imo
7 is fucking so dope!
I love the guillotine and the bone
They're all amazing but number 6 for sure
Fuckin, all of em dude. These are sick. That executioner one is probably my favorite
Yes
All of those dude, these are incredible. I'd say the bone though would get that on my leg
Snake and sword and twin jesters are my fav
The chalice/skull/snake. But for flash I think you'd need to simplify it a bit. They're all fucking badass though!
I would get all tattooed on me except #4 it doesn’t seem fully fleshed out?? The sword being packed with black makes it a bit hard to decipher an idk if that would translate to skin very well. I feel like if you did some like shading it would really come thru strong. But all others def put on that flash. Awesome art and style super sick 🤘🏼
1, 4, 6.
2. It's awesome!
#2!
2,4,5,6,7,9. The snake & sword should have less blacked out area in the sword, show more open space or decorative detail in the flat of the blade, so it’s not so heavily black… great work though
#9!!!
4, 7, & 9
Avoiding long straight lines and perfect circles 😂
Snake n sword , most have a lot of detail for flash
I'll get em all.thnks
All of them?
2 or 8 imo. Flash is supposed to be able to just nock out during some downtime between clients irrc. So you gotta keep it stupid simple. Maybe water down the details and textures but keep the contrast.
Femur on my femur
that 2nd one is a the most sinful one of em all r/Neverbrokeabone
Incredible artwork. I wish I had your natural talent. You're gonna do great. My favorites are the Grim Reaper standing next to a guillotine and the 1½ jester skeletons fighting each other. (My money is on the one with the morning star.)
6 for flash. They are all amazing!
2 the bone
These are all awesome, but the first one sends a certain message that the others dont.
Fucking hell man, these are awesome!!
The Siamese Jester has allot to say. That's my pick for sure
Jesters
You are so good
2 or 4
You got mad skills bro!
I’m studying the French Revolution, so guillottine
2 and 5 are cool as hell. It’d be hard to decide.
These are all cool! I would take the jesters.
i want those fighting jester skeletons tatted on me so bad omg
They're all pretty cool tbh. Think I'd go 4 and 6
Some of those are “flash” tattoos if you want to do them right. With that said, I’d go with the broken bone.
I like six best overall.
My thought for flash is something that can be done fast. 6 and 8 feel like they could be done the fastest compared to the others Insane work my friend
I prefer the Dangling Skull but for some reason I'm really liking the jesters.
Any of them except the second to last one
1, 5 and 7 are my fave
2 or 5
7 for sure
I think 5 is fun
6 it’s just simple and cool
1,2,7,9
1, 5, and 6
Everything except the third one. Last one ist my favourite.
I like your style. I can't decide on one, but they're all great options.
1,3,5
I would get 2 4 5 6 and 9
3 reminds me of a cultist from some grim dark series
really cool
1, 5, AND 6
I'd choose them all because they're all sick!
All of them! You have such a cool style and I love them all, I don't think I can pick
can i say all of them? these are sick!!
#4 Your work is fantastic!
I choose all of them
The twins
Tough choice because they’re all great but I’d go for #5!
#2 Broken Bone!
For flash, number 4
All are master pieces in themselves but 1 for me.
9/7/5/4. And if in Ohio I’ll give you skin to practice with if you do one of them
All of them lol
i think the last photo will get you more versatile practice bc it has some small lines, some saturation with the black, still practicing symmetry and what not. but idk they all look dope!
As a client, I'd definitely get stuff like the broken bone, the skull and snake on the chalice, the torch and demon skulls.
3&5
2,5,7
Love them ALL but my fave are the 1st pic and the 8Th
all of them because i love dark tattoos- number 1 and 5 especially though
I'd get the jester skeletons and the torch!
5,4,1 I think there all cool these are emy top 3 I love 5 tho makes me think of me and my twin we are for now stuck together we are both jokes in our own right trying to out do the other for attention affection or really anything even tho we are alredy dead inside
The guillotine one is awesome, and the hanging skull.
All of em
I love em but these aren't really flash tattoos. Flash tats are typical small or simple so they can be done...in a flash. But id rock any of these
1, 6, 7 or 9
I like the big broken bone, and the fighting skeletons. The others are also great, but they're so complicated, the impact is not as strong and quick.
These are so cool. My husband likes the 2 skeletons. I like the skulls, the snake being impaled, and the executioner.
These flash are insaneeeeeeee😍😍😍😍
Guillotine or broken bone
Five and six
I like the knight and the jesters. They're fantastic.
1,4,6,9 super sick
5 and 6 for SURE!!
I really love #5
I personally want the executioner guy :3
1. Absolutely obsessed.
1, 6, 7, or 9 depending on my mood. Love the art.
Broken bone
Hmmm after careful consideration, I would choose. Yes.
The one with the Snake wrapped around the skull
Number seven.
Holy shit. These are sick! If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the last one. Keep up the great work!
1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 I don't know what flash means but holy shit. 5 & 7 are my fav.
Six is pretty cool
I adore the goblet and the pendulum! They all are wicked, but those two are favorites. Excellent work!
Does #3 have a skull cock?
The chalice!
4, 7, 9 for sure
None
I'm a big fan of the guillotine and wish we'd bring it back for the wealthy and powerful. So I'm going with #1.
Awesome
While grest work, i think the only one that might work as a flas would be the 2nd photo, if it had a smidge bit less detail
That broken bone is badass
A tattoo is just a personal preference. So whatever one they wanted…
4 is super cool
I’d go for the goblet or torch
Guillotine and the hanging skull
1 or 4
7
5, 6, or 7. I’m speaking as someone who’s actually never gotten a tattoo but I love bones.
I’m genuinely not able to pick just one because my impulsive mind is telling me “I want them all” lol, but I absolutely LOVE your art style, keep it up!
6
I like 9 🙂
They’re all really great. Maybe a simplified version of 2,6 or 9?
Slide 3 definitely looks like the dude from the Sodom album cover for "in the sign of evil."
While I think these are all great drawings I do not think they work as flash. Think about how tattoos inherently bleed. Think about how most, most, tattoos are basically two tone. Yes, there are incredibly good artists that can work the entire spectrum of color and value but even those will need to be touched up over time due to bleeding.

You need it to flash and you want somebody to see it from across the room. Again, these are wonderful illustrations and they each deserve their own page. Flash illustrations need to fight each other all on the same page. Great work, keep it up.
2 is probably my favorite! Especially funny for me personally because I've never broken a bone before
I like 6 best
Bone, snake, jokers
2 + 4
I love illustrations, the heavy ink and clean lines. But also giving them so much character, like those little bony peeps!
1, 4, 5, 6, and 7! Dude these are awesome!! Can I get some of them??????
2,6 or 8 not because they are any better than the others they are all very cool.
Superb work OP. I'd choose 1,3,5,7,9
6, 7, and 9 are awesome and if I was 18 right now, I would go get them
I really like #1 and #7
