Interested in Selling Your Artwork on TattooFinder.com?Dear Prospective Artist, Thank you for your interest in selling your artwork with Flash2xs.com, LLC. The TattooFinder.com website was launched January 1st, 2003, as a response to the MANY requests we were receiving on the Flash2xs.com website for single designs by those wanting to get a tattoo. Averaging over 50,000 unique visitors each day, TattooFinder.com has grown rapidly to become the clear online leader for single tattoo design sales! Becoming a Flash2xs.com, LLC Artist is competitive, and we only select approximately 1 in 20 interested Artists to be on the site. We have been selling tattoo flash art for well over a decade (through Flash2xs.com as well as previously through Crystal Productions), and we have a good understanding of what we can and cannot sell. Obviously, art and creativity are subjective and there is no doubt that we have not signed some Artists who are very talented. But we are also looking to bring design diversity to what we offer, and part of our artist/artwork selection process includes looking at how a particular Artist's design style would fit with what we currently offer. Sometimes acceptance to the site is just a matter of timing. The two primary goals of TattooFinder.com are to maintain our position as the top online resource for single tattoo design sales to the general public, AND to continue growing as an authoritative resource and consumer advocate within the tattoo industry. This means we are ALWAYS looking for talented Artists to bring on to our site, both well known and new talent alike. Who knows, you may be the next trend-setting Artist to define the industry standards! Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hearing more about you and to seeing samples of your artwork!

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How does selling my artwork on TattooFinder.com work? A: Here is a summary of how we generally set up contracting with our Artists:
This summary is ONLY a summary and does not constitute an actual agreement or contract in any way with Flash2xs.com, LLC. Q: Does Flash2xs.com, LLC ever purchase original artwork outright? A: Yes, but we generally don't pay a lot for the copyrights to original artwork. If we feel we can be profitable with the sale of artwork and the purchase price seems fair, we will buy it outright. For some Artists "quick cash" is a perfect solution to their needs. Q: How does TattooFinder.com select the artwork it sells and Artists to bring onto the site? A: TattooFinder.com gets many more applications from Artists than we are able to accept. We like to keep the artwork we offer to customers diverse, and sometimes it's just a matter of the styles and types of designs we are looking for at any particular time. There are some very specific things we look for in an Artist's work. Before you apply, we would highly recommend reviewing the article "Creating Tattoo Flash that Sells". Tattoo designs are COMMERCIAL artwork and thus there are some very specific requirements we look for when determining its "salability." This document gives a good overview of what we look for when determining "salability" of tattoo designs (our primary criteria). Having your designs conform to these requirements BEFORE you submit your samples can play a large role in helping you towards acceptance in the process.
