Several tattoo shops offer Friday the 13th tattoo deals. Here are some examples:

• Inked Memphis: Offers a selection of designs available at a discounted rate every Friday the 13th.

• ArtWerks Studios: Offers $80-$250 tattoos and piercings in Nashville.

• Grace & Glory Tattoo: Offers $100 tattoos with no placement restrictions in Nashville.

• Smilin Ricks: Offers one-day-only deals to celebrate Friday the 13th in Denton, Texas.

• Elm Street Tattoo: Co-owner Oliver Peck is often credited with starting the modern tradition of Friday the 13th as a tattoo holiday. Many shops run special promotions charging steeply discounted prices to get work done, often for a flat rate at or even under shop minimum.

Its important to note that not all tattoo shops participate in Friday the 13th tattoo deals, and some artists choose not to participate due to what they see as an undervaluing of their labor thanks to low pay and long days of churning out many copies of cheap, unoriginal art. If youre interested in getting a Friday the 13th tattoo, be sure to check with the shop ahead of time, as details can change, and its easy to miss out if you show up too late.
