BROOKLYN TATTOO TO OFFER $27 TATTOOS IN HONOR OF THE 127TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
Brooklyn, NewYork - It is a time honored tattoo parlor tradition to commemorate an auspicious date or event with a themed tattoo. Shops have long been inking “13” on arms for $13 when that date falls on a Friday or offers for $31 tattoos are abundant on Halloween. With this thought in mind, Brooklyn Tattoo has decided to put their own spin on this custom and are proud to announce that they have decided to honor one of their biggest inspirations, the Brooklyn Bridge, by offering 27 dollar Brooklyn Bridge tattoos on Sunday May 23rd, the day before the Bridge’s 127th anniversary.
On Sunday May 23rd, from 11am to 9pm, those interested in receiving a Brooklyn Bridge tattoo can show up at the shop-BROOKLYN TATTOO, 99 Smith Street, Brooklyn, New York- and pick from several flash (pre-drawn) images that evoke the spirit that has defined New York’s iconic skyline. Tattoos will be done by several of the Brooklyn Tattoo staff on a first come, first serve basis. Also, for those not brave enough to commit ink to skin, signed and numbered copies of the flash design sheets will be available for purchase as well as limited edition Brooklyn Bridge event t-shirts.
The image is a sample of the designs available, there will be a few more to choose from
