Friday the 13th $13 dollar 13 tattoo

Sign in to disble this ad
So last night, me and he Mrs. went out and got a $13 dollar tattoo. A shop here was doing a promotion that if you get "13" tattooed, you get it for $13. Being of the punk/ rockabilly persuasion, "13" is a pretty typical tattoo, plus my wife's birthday is 1-13, so I figured what the hell.

Obligatory assy cell phone pic.



contrary to my photo skills, the tattoo is oriented correctly

eh. the guy who I got it from does amazing work. I've got ~$2k in tattoos, so it's not my first day. I had fun, and that's what counts. My phone camera sucks, and makes the line work look like crap.

Cool tattoo but I hate to tell you this but you also just got a STG tattoo. The Mexican Mafia/Sureno's and a few other gangs all use the number 13 and have it tattooed in many ways on their bodies.

Obviously, I believe what you are saying as to why you got the tattoo but you may want to consider adding something to the tattoo to tell what it is significant of. If a police officer pulls you over and is not aware of why you have the tattoo, you may get a little extra attention if he or she thinks you are a Sureno.

It's a good thing you don't live in California because, for the reason Jay said, that probably wouldn't be the smartest tattoo to get.

I'm glad you guys are worried about me, but getting pulled over in my prius for bangin' seems like a bit of a stretch. 13 tattoos are pretty standard in the rockabilly / psychobilly scene, even in LA.

Sureno's have spread out across the country and consist of other races other than just Mexican. I just got back from a National conference 2 weeks ago where we were given a ton of information on this stuff.

On a side note, what is the number "13" significant of in the rockabilly scene?

"Lucky 13" or obviously "unlucky 13" is pretty popular. Luck, overall, is a popular traditional tattoo theme.

I'm sure they do but I was at a law enforcement conference that deals with these things.

Does this refer to the quality of the tattoo or the location?

My suspicion suggests the latter....

haha, neither. I love my Tmobile G1, but the camera on that thing is miserable at best.

This isn't a fassa esqe thread, with the hidden purpose being taking pictures of my butt.
