CONTENTFull Color Flash
Military Flash, edited by Spider Webb, gathers full color vintage tattoo flash worn by servicemen from the turn of the twentieth century through World War II. Anchors, eagles, exotic dancers, angry daggers, insignia and Death Before Dishonor pieces fill the pages, alongside plenty of patriotic imagery.
Webb is a New York tattooer who has run a parlor at the Coney Island Museum and builds his own tattoo machines, so the selection comes from someone who works with this material, not just collects it. The 80-page softcover has perforated pages, letting you remove sheets and hang them on the shop wall like original flash.
For tattooers working in traditional and American traditional styles, it is a ready source of classic military designs with honest period character. For collectors and veterans, it is a tribute to the tattoos that went to war and came home on the arms of the people who served.
