San Antonio-area tattoo shops offering tattoos for $20 or less on Friday the 13th

SAN ANTONIO – Tattoo shops in the San Antonio area are offering specials next week thanks to a tradition that takes place on Friday the 13th.

Tattoo parlors frequently offer deals on Friday the 13th, with many shops offering a pre-drawn list of flash tattoos for patrons to choose from.

Pricing is usually $13. However, many shops have rules that require a minimum $7 tip, while others charge a service fee. Rules vary by parlor.

Some tattoo shops extend the Friday the 13th special for an entire weekend, and some shops start several days early to accommodate the high demand for Friday the 13th specials.

KSAT has confirmed that the following parlors plan to participate in October 2023:

• Boerne Tattoo Co.
• Coffin Dagger Tattoos
• Cursed Mark Tattoos
• Feral Ink
• Icon Ink
• It’s Live Through This Tattoos
• Legion Ink
• Livewire Tattoo
• Nite Owl Tattoo Studio
• Por Vida Tattoos & Piercings
• Reflection Ink Tattoo Shop
• The Tat Studio

The shops listed expect to have long lines and operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
