Tattoo's on Friday the 13th have been going hand in hand for years. Why? Most people fear Friday the 13th, Triskaidekaphobia but not tattoo artists. In fact according to one website a tattoo of the number '13' is considered to be a lucky symbol. This has morphed into shops offering special deals on Friday the 13th. Most of the tattoos that are offered comes from the category called "Flash." These are smaller pieces that might only have one or two colors.

Keep in mind that most places are not taking appointments for 07/13/18. Also try to pay in cash. Your tattoo or piercing artist is giving you a break on the normal costs. Don't make them have to turn around and pay credit card processing fees on top of the great deal that they just gave you. Bring photo ID, no photo ID, no tattoos at most places. Lastly, tip. Make sure to tip. These artists are providing you a service one that they are genuinely talented and are thrilled to do. Show them how much you love their work in their tip.
