Friday the 13th is coming up, and it's like Black Friday for many tattoo parlors with customers hoping to take advantage of cheap deals.

In 2023, only two months have Fridays falling on the 13th — January and October.

This "holiday" entails a themed flash sheet and a group of designs you can choose from, normally priced at $13 with a "lucky" $7 tip.

Here are eight Corpus Christi tattoo shops offering Friday the 13th specials this month.
