Friday the 13th occurs three times in 2026—the most it’s possible to have in a calendar year—which means more flash tattoos and more fun. This month, the inky tradition coincides with Valentine’s Day weekend, prompting fun designs that are both creepy and cute. Whether you’re looking to get your first tatt or you’re running out of skin space, we’ve compiled a list where you can get inked as part of the occasion. Don’t forget your photo ID!
Anatomy Tattoo
This shop is paying tribute to Heartbreakers and Love Makers this weekend, with its flash sheets reflecting a different mood each day. Walk-ins and appointments available, and tattoos can be placed on arms and legs only. Keep an eye on their Instagram for flash sheet reveals, and if you can’t make it into the shop, pay them a visit at their Portland Night Market booth.
Grant Park
Better Friends Tattoo
This tattoo collective is home to seven talented artists, some of whom will be offering flash designs just for Friday, and others who will have specials through the whole weekend. Contact your artist of choice directly to get on their books!
