CONTENTTattoo Flash and History

Ralph Ashwell tattooed from the 1930s into the 1960s, a career that ran through at least two wars and the steady stream of servicemen that came with them. He never became a household name, but tattooers who know the material rank him among the strongest American artists of his era.

This 116-page debossed hardcover gathers a selection of his best traditional tattoo flash: roses, banners, military insignia, pop culture images and plenty more. The sheets show both sides of the trade, designs built to be applied quickly and cleanly and still painted with real care, along with history on the man behind them.

Ralph Ashwell Tattoo Flash is solid working reference for anyone tattooing American traditional, and a welcome addition for collectors filling in the less-celebrated names of pre-war and wartime flash.
