"Two Friday the 13ths, dozens of flash sheets and some of the cheapest tattoos you'll see all year. Bad luck? Not in New York. Friday the 13th has long been one of the city's most ink-happy traditions-and in 2026, it hits twice, landing on Friday, February 13 and again on Friday, March 13. For tattoo shops, that means flash sheets in the windows, lines down the block and deeply discounted designs you can only get one day a year."
