Curated Flash Tattoo Session
A ready-to-tattoo design makes the decision process simple while keeping the finished piece distinctive.
A More Personal Way to Choose Your Tattoo
I offer a curated selection of flash designs created with clear lines, balanced composition, and a strong sense of style. Each piece is ready to tattoo, so you can spend less time developing an idea from scratch and more time finding a design that genuinely speaks to you.
My flash collection also includes seasonal specials, giving you new artwork to discover as the year changes. During your session, I will review the selected design, discuss placement and sizing, and make sure the final setup suits your body and preferences.

About
My name is Derek Dufresne. I have been tattooing since 1999 and have won numerous awards across Canada and the US for my tattoos and artwork. I have had tattoos published and feature stories in dozens of tattoo magazines, newspapers etc worldwide. I have owned tattoo studios in Victoria, BC, Canada and New Orleans, LA and I am now creating custom work at Mind's Eye Tattoo Studio in Tacoma. I specialize in expressive Japanese-inspired tattoos, including dragons, phoenixes, sleeves, and larger pieces, horror themed tattoos, realism while also welcoming walk in flash and coverup ideas. I work closely with each client to turn a concept into artwork that feels personal, considered, and built to last. I also create original paintings and art for collectors.
