Horror fans and average Joe's alike can celebrate Friday the 13th to their heart's content, as local tattoo and piercing shops provide deals Jason Voorhees would approve of - from $31 flash tattoos to lobe and helix piercing specials offering $13 services, there are numerous tattoo and piercing establishments offering terrifying ink designs for this Friday! Here are just a few places offering haunted ink this Friday.
Elm Street Tattoo in Dallas hosts its annual Friday the 13th tattoo marathon every year and this year they're accepting pre-signups so you can secure a place at their event on Friday the 13th. Expected designs for this event include small #13 themed pieces that cost just $15 ($13 plus $7 tip for good luck).
Death and Taxes in Fort Worth is also taking part, with co-owner Thomas Light highlighting their approach as unique from others. Instead of creating an orderly waiting room filled with customers being tattooed in order of arrival, Death and Taxes uses an electronic sign-up sheet so everyone has an equal opportunity at getting tattooed. They take appointments over phone calls or emails as well. Their artists specialize primarily in Neotraditional but are comfortable working other styles too.
One Drop Ink in Nashville will also host a Friday the 13th tattoo event from 2 p.m. until their slots have run dry, offering general discounts of 20-30 percent and seasonally themed flash sheets to choose from for this day only tattooing of arms and legs with maximum two tats per customer.
