Getting a tattoo on Friday the 13th? These Columbia shops offer special $20 deals
Friday the 13th is known to people for many things.
The list includes tattoo specials.
For someone who has found themselves considering getting a tattoo, but perhaps not wanting to spend how much they typically cost, at least three tattoo shops in Columbia could have a solution Friday with specials to mark Friday the 13th.
C.R.Ink Tattoos
Customers can get a $20 tattoo — $13 art and $7 mandatory tattoo-artist tip. Last call to sign-up for the special is 8 a.m. Friday. Doors open noon Friday at 15 S. 10th St.
"We typically get hundreds of people," said Valerie Frost, one of the shop's owners, noting there's usually a line of around 90 customers even before the shop opens for the Friday the 13th special promotion.
Door prizes and raffles also are planned.
