Per Tennessee Dave, the great god-king of encyclopedic tattoo knowledge (Tennessee Dave tattoos at Vintage Tattoo Art Parlor), the "tattoo font" and the word flash (sample posters of tattoo designs for customers to peruse) both come from the days when tattooists worked in the side shows of circuses and carnivals. The tattoo font is based on the font that appeared in side show signs and cards that advertised the services of tattooists.

Below is a sample tattoo font based on hand lettering done by Greg James.
