Once upon a time, a tattoo parlor in Dallas, Texas, started offering $13 tattoos on Friday the 13th, and the day hasn’t been unlucky since. At least three Louisville tattoo parlors are offering discounts on tattoos for this momentous day. Not all are $13, but they’re still a good price for something that will be on your body forever.

Friday the 13th $20 Tattoos!   |  Brother Raven’s Tattoo & Art Emporium  |  5520 Fern Valley Road  |  $20  |  Noon-10 p.m.

Show up to Brother Raven’s Tattoo & Art Emporium on Friday the 13th and you’ll have a spread of $20 preselected, black-and-white designs to choose from. There will be several options for larger, $50 tattoos, or you can drop an extra $20 for every color you’d like to add to the design. There are no limits on placement or number of tattoos you can get. If there’s a wait, you’ll be put on a list “until we feel the artists have all they can handle for the night.” Brother Raven’s Middletown location has a 4.7 rating out of five stars on Google. Its South End location just opened this year.
