Friday the 13th Tattoos in San Diego: November 13 at Rock Bottom
Good ink. Bad luck. A full day in downtown San Diego.
Friday the 13th is getting a serious lineup at Rock Bottom Tattoo Studio. On November 13, 2026, we’re bringing together 14 tattoo artists for an event planned to run from 9 a.m. Friday until 3 a.m. Saturday, November 14, Pacific time.
We’re preparing for approximately 500 clients, with a goal of at least 1,000 tattoos throughout the event. Those are our planning targets, and we’re putting a full day of energy behind them. If you’ve been looking for a Friday the 13th tattoo event in San Diego, here’s what to know before you join us across from Petco Park.
The event at a glance
Date: Friday, November 13, 2026. Planned hours: 9 a.m. Friday to 3 a.m. Saturday, November 14, Pacific time. Location: Rock Bottom Tattoo Studio, 101 Park Plaza, Suite 151, San Diego, CA 92101. Lineup: 14 participating artists planned for the event. Event tattoos: Starting at $40, with the final price depending on the selected design.
Our planned hours aren’t a reservation or a guaranteed last admission time. Check with the studio about availability before making a late-night trip.
Event offers: $40 starting tattoos, BOGO, and the first 25
Our event page currently lists tattoos starting at $40. It also lists buy one, get one free on event designs, with the free design of equal or lesser value, plus a free tattoo for the first 25 people through the door.
If you’re coming for the first-25 offer, plan to arrive early. Don’t assume that joining a line guarantees a free tattoo. Ask the team to confirm your eligibility, the available designs, and the offer details when you check in. Confirm your selected design’s price before your session begins.
Browse the flash, then pick a backup
The online collection includes 42 flash sheets across three releases: ghosts, fine-line designs, and tiny tattoos. Save screenshots of a few favorites so you can show the team what you like.
The final selection is still being chosen. Not every pictured design will be available, and the studio will choose the event-day lineup based on votes and requests. Have a backup pick ready. Browsing or saving a design doesn’t reserve it, and event pricing applies to the designs offered for the event.
Want something custom or coming with friends?
Small custom tattoos follow a separate request process. The studio is offering a limited number of discounted custom appointments for Friday the 13th, subject to review and availability.
Send your reference, approximate size, placement, and group size through the event page’s custom-request option. The team will review your idea, discuss availability, and share deposit details. A small deposit is required before a custom appointment is confirmed. Sending a message alone does not secure a time.
Plan your downtown San Diego visit
You’ll find us at 101 Park Plaza, Suite 151, directly across from Petco Park. Allow time to get downtown, find the studio, and check in. With a large turnout expected, leave room in your schedule for a wait rather than building your visit around an exact finish time.
Before heading over, confirm the event’s age and accepted-ID requirements, payment options, and any placement or design restrictions with the studio. Those details matter even if you’ve been tattooed here before.
