Friday the Thirteenth

About this event

We're teaming up with our upstairs neighbors and friends at Mama Bird for a day of tattoos, making, adornment, and community gathering on Friday, November 13th, starting at 11a.

If you're unfamiliar, Friday the 13th has become a beloved tradition in tattoo culture. Many shops mark the occasion by opening their doors for walk-in flash tattoos, often featuring classic lucky and unlucky imagery, from black cats and horseshoes to little daggers and four-leaf clovers. It's a chance to get a little spontaneous, mark the day, and participate in a tradition shared by tattoo communities around the world.

We'll be hosting the festivities here at The Apothecary, with a wonderful lineup of local artists and makers joining us for the day.

Mama Bird tattooers will be offering flash and walk-ups, with select artists also taking pre-bookings. Seattle Chainstitch Massacre will be on hand for custom embroidery on clothing, bandanas, and bags, and Regina Dentata Silver will be bringing her handmade silver jewelry and terrariums.

At The Apothecary, we believe community is our medicine, and that care takes many forms. Sometimes it's a conversation, a creative practice, finding a way to mark a moment in time or simply spending an afternoon amongst good people.

We love creating opportunities for different communities, creatives, and neighbors to come together. This is what gathering is all about.

Come get tattooed, bring something to be stitched, find a little treasure, meet someone new, or just stop by and say hello.
