Available Time Slots for Premium Friday 13th Designs

Here’s How It Works:

🕛 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Walk-In Flash Frenzy

  • The first hour is a no-reservation, walk-in-only showdown.

  • $31 flash tattoos — quick, bold, and cursed in all the right ways.

  • Simple designs only (you'll see the flash board when you get here).

  • First come, first served — if you don’t get tattooed in the first hour, you may have to wait longer as Heather will be taking the walk-ins for the rest of the day.

  • Every walk-in gets entered into a raffle to win their next flash tattoo at no cost at the next flash event

🧠 Pro Tip: Get here early. Doors open at 11:45, tattoos start at noon. No holds. No bullshit. No crybabies.

🕐 1:00 PM – Close: Premium Flash Reservation Sessions

Starting at 1:00 PM, we shift gears. It’s all about the big hitters:

  • Premium flash designs = 1-hour tattoos per slot

  • Reserve a time slot with the artist of your choice

  • The $13 fee does not go toward the tattoo — it secures your time and design.

  • Limited to 7 premium appointments per artist, so act fast.

  • Final price for each tattoo varies by design.

  • Artists available: Micah, Kracke, John

  • Get entered to win $50 customer credit

🎨 You’ll get to choose your artist (if available) and lock in your preferred time.
🖼 Flash designs will be viewable online and in-shop

FUN AND LOCAL EVENTS HOSTED BY OUR SHOP THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS

  • Flash days are a promotional event that aims to attract new clients who may be looking for a quick and affordable tattoo. The tattoos are pre-designed and each design will only be used once which encourages people to show up ahead of the crowd so that they are able to get the tattoo that they want.

  • A first-come first serve event in which lucky (or unlucky) 13 themed tattoos are pre-designed and tattooed for only $13 along with a mandatory $7 tip given for good luck.

  • An artist from a different city, country, or shop is invited to work in our hop for a limited time allowing fans of the guest artist to get a unique piece from them.

  • This event is hosted for those that are interested in learning about the art of tattooing, tattoo care, and the history. It will consist of seminars, drawing and designing tattoos for aspiring tattoo artists.

  • Several times a year we will host an event in which a portion of the proceeds from each tattoo will go to a local charity or cause. This is our way of giving back to the community that supports us and to show that our business built on altruistic principals and goodwill.

  • A day we transform our shop into a gallery for an evening, showcasing the talent of our artists and other local artists. This can include tattoo designs, paintings, sketches, and more. It's a great way to celebrate art in various forms and can attract a wider audience to your shop.

  • A special event in which we host a tattoo contest with categories like "Best Black and White Tattoo," "Best Color Tattoo," "Best Portrait Tattoo," etc. Offer prizes for the winners, and use the event to showcase the talent of local and regional artists.

  • A day or night in which we collaborate with local businesses to host a special event. For example, teaming up with a local bar for a "Tattoos and Brews" night, where customers can enjoy special drinks while getting tattooed or simply enjoying the art. Just remember, don’t drink too much if you are wanting to get a tattoo.

  • Events around holidays, seasons, or specific themes. For instance, Halloween-themed tattoos in October or host a summer kick-off event with beach-themed tattoos.

  • Celebrating the anniversary of our shops opening. Will have special promotions, music, drinks and giveaways to a couple lucky attendees.

  • This day is all about the customers and specifically to show how thankful we are for each and every one of them. This day will include giveaways, discounts and small party out behind the shop.
