Its Friday the 13th tattoo time!
Friday the 13th tattoos are a big deal. If you’re in Tucson and you love tattoos, you’ve probably seen these events pop up. But why are they so popular? Let’s break it down.
What’s the Big Deal with Friday the 13th?
Friday the 13th is known as an unlucky day. It combines Friday, which some think is unlucky, with the number 13, which people also say is bad luck. So, together, they’re supposed to be extra unlucky.
But tattoo artists took this superstition and flipped it. They turned the day into something fun. Now, Friday the 13th is a day to get cheap tattoos.
How Did Friday the 13th Tattoos Start?
It all started in the 1990s with a tattoo artist named Oliver Peck. He’s famous for his tattoos and had the idea to offer cheap, small tattoos on Friday the 13th. He did this for the first time in Dallas, Texas. It was a hit. People loved the idea of getting a tattoo on an “unlucky” day.
Other shops noticed, and soon, everyone was doing it.
Why Are They Popular in Tucson?
In Tucson, Friday the 13th tattoos are super popular. Shops all over the city join in. They offer flash tattoos—small, simple designs—at a discount. Some shops charge just $13 plus a $7 tip. That’s only $20 for a tattoo!
It’s not just about the price, though. It’s about the fun. Tucson’s tattoo community loves to come together. These events are like little tattoo parties. Plus, it’s a great way to get your first tattoo without spending too much.

- Bring Cash: Many shops prefer cash for these events. It’s faster and easier.
