With the difficulty of having a portable media like a canvass. Tattoo art exhibits get limited to displaying photographs of subjects and the use of flash prints. There is of course losses in the three dimensional attribute of the art work. Tattoo artists also make use of the contours of the body and the curves of the muscle as a design element. This can easily be appreciated when one sees a full sleeve tattoo on a muscular arm versus a print. The artistic effect of a colored cobra or dragon coiled around an arm is lost if it is only seen as a print out or a photograph.
