Christmas Tattoos: Traditional Holiday Flash and Gift Cards

Christmas shopping starts earlier every year, and a tattoo shop is a better stop than the mall. At Electric Street Tattoo we keep traditional Christmas flash on the wall, take walk-ins daily, and have gift cards ready to send the second someone needs one.

Walk in daily from 1pm, first come, first served, request a tattoo, or buy a gift card and send it today.

Traditional Christmas flash

Classic holiday pieces look right at home in American traditional: bold lines, solid color, designs that still read from across the room. On our walls and in the books you'll find:

  • Holly and berries

  • Candy canes and ornaments

  • Reindeer and classic Christmas trees

  • Krampus and other old-world holiday twists

  • Traditional takes on stockings, bells, and banners with a name or a date that means something

Want a Christmas pin-up, a dagger through a candy cane, or a swallow holding holly? That's the kind of twist traditional shops have always done. Holiday flash specials are given in person only — walk in or call (954) 666-1138.

Getting tattooed over the holidays

The weeks leading up to Christmas are a good time to add a piece, finish a sleeve, or finally get that small flash you've been eyeing. Walk-ins are welcome every day from 1pm, first come, first served. Prefer a set time with a specific artist? Request a Tattoo and we'll get you on the books.

Bring a friend and make an afternoon of it. We're at 320 E Oakland Park Blvd in Oakland Park, a short hop from Fort Lauderdale and easy for anyone in Broward County.

Give a tattoo this Christmas

Not sure what flash they'll love? Put the choice in their hands. An Electric Street Tattoo gift card is good for any tattoo in the shop, walk-in or by appointment.

Why Choose Embroidery Tattoos?

Embroidery tattoos stand out for their textured, three-dimensional appearance that looks as if threads have been sewn directly onto the skin. It’s a style that combines the ancient art of embroidery with the modern art of tattooing, creating a fusion that’s both classic and contemporary3.

The Process: Crafting an Embroidery Tattoo

The key to a successful embroidery tattoo lies in the artist’s understanding of light and shadow, as well as their ability to layer colors to create the desired three-dimensional effect. CJ Ugarte excels in this, using small strokes in various colors to achieve the look of embroidered patches, while keeping the design itself elegantly simple3.
