Head to Sunnyside Tattoo this Friday the 13th for a 3-day flash event from 11 AM to 8 PM. Flash designs range from $60–$120 and are available in black, grey, or color. Arms and legs only. No alterations. Designs drop a few days before the event, and it’s first come, first served, so get there early.
A few tips to remember:
- Most shops are cash only, so be sure to stop by the bank on your way to get inked.
- Typically flash tattoos are intended for arms & legs only.
- Get there early, parlors can get flooded with people and it’s usually first-come, first-served!
- Flash sheets change every Friday the 13th so an establishment may no longer carry a design you see below.
- If you don't see a deal below that you're into, keep in mind some deals are artist-specific and not establishment-specific. We recommend checking out Instagram accounts of tattoo artists you'd want to visit and see if they're offering individual deals at shops where they have residencies.
