Whenever Friday the 13th comes around, tattoo shops announce a variety of discounted tattoos and piercings relating to the number 13. This stems from the idea that 13 is an unlucky number, and in 1995, Oliver Peck began making it a lucky day for tattoo artists. Now, at many franchises and standalone tattoo parlors, Friday the 13th brings in business through fair-priced, great tattoos. There are multiple places to go and get tattooed this Friday the 13 in Central Florida, from Orlando to Tampa.
Fine Ink Studios
With multiple locations across Central Florida, Fine Ink Studios announced their deal, which includes a choice between 50 1.5 by 1.5 inch tattoo designs, costing $13 with a $7 tip, and another 50 tattoos sized at 2.5 by 2.5 inches for $31 with a $9 tip. There will also be deals on piercings, which cost the same as larger tattoos, and include earlobes, helix, conch, nostril, septum, and navel.
There will be free grab bags with goodies as well, such as a $20 coupon, a collectible event medal, stickers, and more. Tattoos are limited to arms and legs, and piercings will come free with surgical steel jewelry, with upgraded titanium jewelry at an additional cost. Guests are limited to three tattoos and three piercings, respectively. Check out more information about Fine Ink Studios HERE.
Poison Ivy Ink St. Pete/Tampa
In St. Petersburg and Tampa, Poison Ivy Ink will have more than 400 options for flash sale tattoos, priced at $50, and a 35% off deal for piercings. They will not be taking appointments, but doors open at 11 a.m., and customers will receive wristbands to save their place in line if they would like to explore the area.
The tattoo limit at Poison Ivy Ink is five, and the piercing limit varies from three to five. For tattoos, there are upcharge options for shading at $25, per color added at $15 each, and any placements not listed on their page. More information about placements and Poison Ivy Ink as a whole can be found HERE.
Atomic Tattoos
Another franchise with four locations in Orlando, as well as 11 in the Tampa Bay area, and even two in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This month marks the 25th year of their business, but some studios, such as Atomic Tattoos Lakeland, are still hosting sales. Both tattoos and piercings will be priced at $13, with a $7 tip, cash only. They will only be taking walk-ins, and only the selected tattoo designs can be purchased for the deal. Tattoos are limited to three per person.
For piercings, the list includes nostril, nipple (each), navel, cartilage (no rook or daith), helix, conch, eyebrow, lip (no monroe or medusa), vertical lip, tragus, and earlobe (each). Other piercings, such as microdermal, tongue (midline only), and industrial, will be priced at $31 with a $9 tip.
Anyone willing to pay full price will be allowed to skip the line, but they are hosting giveaways and trivia while customers wait in line. They will also be choosing two people who share their post at random to skip the line. For this specific Atomic Tattoos, most of their information can be found on their Facebook or Instagram pages.
Many tattoo and piercing shops engage with Friday the 13th each time it comes around. A huge day for artists, this Nov. 13 is not one to miss throughout Central Florida.
