Well.. I don't know if this is the exact meaning.. but I've always heard and understood.. that it was just the term old tattooers used for the designs on their walls.. as in "showing them the flash" in other words.. showing them what you've got, and what you can do.. keeping in mind that alot of old school artists drew their own flash back then.. and eventually started trading amongst each other..

another thing I've heard is they called it that because they were designs that they could do "in a flash".
