Tattoo parlors typically have a pre-made list of flash tattoos to choose from for the $13 special but rules vary from shop to shop.

Some tattoo shops extend the Friday the 13th special through the weekend and some shops start several days early so be sure to check each individual shop’s website or social media for their exact rules.

Call ahead to see if your local tattoo parlor is participating in any $13 tattoo events. Be advised, many shops have changed their policies due to the coronavirus pandemic so plan accordingly.

Most tattoo parlors require a $7 tip or setup fee, so expect to pay more than $13. The shops listed expect to have long lines and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

This list will be updated as more shops confirm their participation.
