Done come around again.
'Flash sales' on Friday 13th are popular among tattoo parlours across the world with small tattoos normally discounted. So why do people brave the needle on a day like this. Is it fear, superstition, fun or just because they are cheap?
Ross Walker is a tattoo artist at A Sailor's Grave in Belfast city centre. He said Friday 13th is a big day in the tattoo parlour. "You can't miss it, you've got to be prepping the battle stations at least a couple of weeks before hand," he said. "It's great fun, we are always looking forward to it. You feel like you are a part of history when you do it."
For many tattooists the day is "manic" and you "never know what to expect". "No matter how prepared you are there is always some unexpected turn around the corner," said Ross. "It's a whole lot of craic with good clients."
