We'll have hundreds of pre-drawn designs to choose from throughout the weekend.
Different designs may be available at different prices depending on size and detail, but event flash starts at $13.
One of the best parts of Friday the 13th is walking in without necessarily knowing what you're getting.
Look through the flash.
Find something you like.
Get it tattooed.
We'll have a large selection of pre-drawn designs available throughout the weekend, giving you plenty of options without having to plan a custom tattoo.
If you've never gotten a flash tattoo before, check out our Flash Tattoos in Merritt Island Guide to learn more about how flash works.
To keep the event moving and give as many people as possible a chance to get tattooed, the Friday the 13th special applies to:
Pre-drawn event flash only.
That means:
No custom designs
No redesigning the flash
No completely different tattoo ideas at the $13 event price
See something you like?
Pick it and get tattooed.
That's the fun of Friday the 13th.
Friday the 13th event tattoos are limited to:
ARMS AND LEGS ONLY.
Keeping placement straightforward helps our artists move efficiently through the large number of walk-ins we expect throughout the weekend.
If you're looking for a tattoo somewhere else on the body or want a larger custom project, talk with us about our regular tattoo options instead.
This is a walk-in tattoo event.
You don't need to schedule an appointment for the Friday the 13th flash special.
Come to the shop, check out the available flash and we'll get people tattooed in walk-in order.
Because Friday the 13th events can get busy, there may be a wait during peak hours.
Coming earlier can help.
All Friday the 13th tattoos are first come, first served.
We're open late Friday and Saturday, so there will be plenty of time throughout the weekend to stop in.
But if you absolutely want to get tattooed, don't wait until the final hour Sunday night.

Friday the 13th flash events have become a tradition throughout tattoo culture.
Tattoo shops create sheets of smaller flash designs and offer them at special prices for the day.
The number 13 itself has a long association with superstition and bad luck, which makes it a natural fit for tattoo culture.
Over time, Friday the 13th became an excuse to flip the superstition around:
Instead of avoiding 13, you tattoo it.
Today, Friday the 13th tattoo events are a chance to get something fun, spontaneous and affordable.
Expect a wide variety.
With hundreds of designs to choose from, you won't be stuck choosing between three tattoos.
Friday the 13th flash traditionally includes things like:
Lucky 13 designs
Unlucky symbols
Skulls
Daggers
Snakes
Hearts
Spiders
Bats
Cats
Traditional tattoo imagery
Creepy designs
Funny designs
Small symbols
Simple linework
Random flash
The actual designs available in the shop during the event will determine what you can choose from.
No.
The Friday the 13th pricing is specifically for our pre-drawn event flash.
If you have your own tattoo idea, we still offer custom tattoos outside of the event special.
Our regular custom tattoos start at $50.
You can read our Tattoo Pricing Guide for more information about regular tattoo pricing.
The event is designed around pre-drawn flash.
Major changes or turning a flash design into something custom defeats the purpose of the event and slows down the walk-in process.
If you want something specifically designed for you, that's a custom tattoo rather than Friday the 13th event flash.
Depending on availability and how busy the shop is, potentially.
Our priority is keeping the event moving and giving as many people as possible an opportunity to participate.
Talk with us when you arrive if you're interested in multiple designs.
Absolutely.
Friday the 13th is a great excuse to come get tattooed with friends.
Look through the flash together and pick your designs.
You can even choose matching tattoos if you find something you both like.
Absolutely.
A small flash tattoo can be a fun way to get your first tattoo.
Just remember that it's still a real tattoo.
Eat beforehand, stay hydrated and come prepared to take care of it afterward.
If you've never been tattooed before, our First Tattoo Guide explains what to expect before, during and after your tattoo.
That depends on your placement and personal pain tolerance.
Because this event is limited to arms and legs, you'll have several placement options.
If you're nervous about pain, check out our Tattoo Pain Chart before coming in.
Keep it simple.
Bring:
Valid photo ID
Payment
Something to keep yourself occupied if there's a wait
A friend if you want company
Make sure you've eaten and had some water before getting tattooed.
Friday the 13th is one of those tattoo events where busy is part of the experience.
We're offering tattoos starting at $13 and hundreds of designs over three days.
There may be a line.
There may be a wait.
Our artists will work through clients as efficiently as possible without sacrificing the quality of the tattoos.
A $13 tattoo needs the same care as a $500 tattoo.
Follow the aftercare instructions your artist gives you.
Keep your new tattoo clean, don't pick at peeling skin or scabs, and be careful with swimming and sun exposure while it's healing.
Our Tattoo Aftercare Guide explains how to care for your new tattoo after you leave the shop.
You can also check our Tattoo Healing Stages Guide if you're wondering what's normal while your tattoo heals.
