Austin Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day Tattoo Specials 2026

Tattoo shops around Austin are known to offer Friday the 13th deals throughout the year, and the first event of 2026 is right around the corner.

Shops and artists around town are offering “flash sheets,” which show an assortment of pre-drawn tattoos for customers to choose from at a fixed price. For February’s “Friday the 13th,” many designs are themed around Valentine’s Day, featuring cupid’s arrows, hearts and everything in between.

Here is a roundup of the Friday the 13th and Valentine’s Day tattoo specials you can find around Austin this month.

All Saints Tattoo

All Saints Tattoo is offering 644 exclusive flash designs to celebrate the ominous date. Designs that are black, outlined in black or shaded in black cost $31, while black plus one color costs $40 and black plus two colors costs $50.

No changes to size or design are permitted, and the tattoos must be placed on either the arms or the legs. Customers can sit for up to three tattoos at a time — if you want more, you’ll have to get back in line.

All Saints is also offering a $31 piercing special, plus the cost of the jewelry, for lobe, helix, conch, rook, tragus, flat, nostril, eyebrow, lip, Medusa, labret, Ashley, Monroe, tongue and nipple.

The deal is walk-in only at both of the shop’s locations, and cash is the only accepted form of payment. There is no ATM at either location.

Small tattoos in black cost $40, while small tattoos in color cost $60. Large tattoos in black cost $120, while large tattoos in color cost $150.

The tattoo must include the number 13 to qualify for the discount and must be placed on either the arms or the legs. No modifications or add-ons are allowed.
