Friday 13th tattoos

Friday 13th Tattoos at Scratchline Tattoo, London with Susanna, Mister Paterson and Texxx

People started queuing at 7am to choose a design from the specially drawn flash sheets and then book in.

We arrived at Scratchline Tattoo in Kentish Town towards the end of a very long day; each tattooist had done 10 or more designs one after the other.

Jack, 23 from Toronto got his first tattoo and we quizzed him on his experience. I like to think, that along with the lovely and chatting Susanna, we kept his mind off the pain.

The pain turned out to be pretty much what he expected and the small black line design didn’t take long.

Jack chose the broken bottle design as he’s “been drinking a lot on this trip, it stuck out”; no one needs any other reason than that they like it! He chose to get tattooed on Friday 13th as it was a “pretty sweet opportunity on the last few days of my trip”.

He’s already planning more and is even considering following up an apprenticeship when he returns to Canada.

On seeing his freshly inked tattoo “that’s fucking dope, I love it!” I’m guessing he enjoyed the after tattoo buzz!

Did you get a Friday 13th Tattoo? We’d love to see it!
