Who says Friday the 13th has to be scary? We’re flipping the script with badass tattoo deals, dance parties and more. It wouldn’t truly be Friday the 13th without some old-fashioned frights, so we’ve got those, too. Instead of hiding under the covers, celebrate this "cursed" day with awesome events around Greater Boston.

Whether you're feeling spontaneous or have been dreaming of new ink, we’ve got you covered with flash sheets and exclusive offers happening on Friday, February 13th. We recommend checking out each tattoo shop's individual Instagram or website for the most up-to-date designs and prices before you get your ink.
Multiple Locations
The artists at Boston Tattoo Company are busy crafting their flash sheets, so keep an eye on their Instagram for the latest designs. All three locations (Newbury Street, Somerville, Medford) will be in on the fun.
113 Salem St
The shop will have multiple artists available with dozens of themed designs to choose from. Flash days are first-come, first-served and cash only.
116 North St Unit C, Salem
Nothing says spring in Boston like a new tattoo. The North Street crew will have plenty of artists on hand to work on your ink.
2 1st Ave #101, Peabody
Swing by Intricate Ink at noon for deals like flash tattoos starting at $31 and piercings starting at $13. Walk-ins welcome, cash only. They open at noon and expect long lines so plan accordingly.
2297 Main St, Tewksbury
The Friday the 13th specials are a little different but just as badass. Take 50% off brown lamination and lash lifts, plus $13 brow tints and $13 lash tints all day.
555 Boston St, Lynn
Boston Street Tattoo is cranking up the thrill with flash tattoos all day. Doors open at noon and prices start at just $40. Keep an eye on their Instagram for prices and designs.
374 Centre St
Celebrate the beloved tattoo holiday at this JP institution with pre-drawn designs starting at $100. Email [email protected] to make an appointment or just walk in.
Old-Fashioned Frights
Not as many of these options this time of year (unless you count winter storm warnings), but if you're looking for something more classic, the Parker Hill branch is screening the classic horror film for free and the Coolidge is doing a slasher double-feature fright night. Or grab your date of the damned and waltz into the witching hour at Xmortis.
Drinking and Debauchery
Friday the 13th is built for questionable decisions. Like grabbing the mic at one of these karaoke spots or ordering “one more round” at one of these late-night bars. Prefer to spend the night on the dance floor with a drink in hand? Here's where to go dancing in Boston.
