Unlocking Friday the 13th: Exciting Tattoo Specials You Can’t Miss
For tattoo enthusiasts and casual dabblers alike, Friday the 13th has become a day of excitement and anticipation. This date is not only steeped in superstition but has also evolved into a cultural phenomenon where tattoo studios around the world offer special deals on ink. If you’re considering getting a tattoo or just love the thrill of unique art, here’s everything you need to know about these exciting specials.
The Tradition Behind Friday the 13th Tattoos
The tradition of Friday the 13th tattoos started as an informal celebration among tattoo artists and their clients. It began in the early 2000s when some studios decided to offer $13 tattoos to commemorate this infamous day. The concept was simple: embrace the superstition by turning it into something fun and artistic. Over time, this practice has grown exponentially, with many shops now offering themed designs that tie back to luck, horror, and pop culture references.
What To Expect at Tattoo Shops on This Day
On Friday the 13th, participating tattoo shops typically offer a selection of pre-designed tattoos at discounted rates. These designs often include iconic symbols such as black cats, skulls, broken mirrors, or lucky charms—each embodying elements of superstition associated with this day. Depending on the studio’s policies, customers may find options for both small-scale pieces starting at $13 and slightly larger ones for just a bit more.
How to Prepare for Your Tattoo Experience
If you’re planning to join in on this unique tradition by getting inked on Friday the 13th, preparation is key. First off, research local studios that are known for their participation in these specials; look out for social media announcements as many shops will promote their deals well ahead of time. Secondly, arrive early. These events can draw large crowds eager to secure their spot—some people even camp out. Lastly, consider what design speaks to you before arriving; while spontaneity is part of the fun, having an idea can streamline your experience.
Tips for Making Your Tattoo Last
While getting a quick tattoo on such an eventful day can be thrilling, caring for your new ink afterward is crucial for its longevity and vibrancy. Make sure to follow aftercare instructions provided by your artist diligently—this usually includes keeping your new tattoo clean and moisturized while avoiding sun exposure during healing periods. Additionally, resist any temptation to pick at scabs or peel skin during healing; this will ensure your artwork remains beautiful long after Friday has ended.
Friday the 13th offers an exhilarating opportunity not only to celebrate superstition but also express individuality through art—what better way than with a special tattoo? By understanding what these specials entail and how best to prepare—and care—you can enjoy every moment from design selection through healing beautifully.
