Custom Design Inspo: The Death Tarot Card

Numbered XIII in the Major Arcana, the Death Tarot card represents transformation and new beginnings. Like Friday the 13th, it’s often misunderstood or feared.

The Friday the 13th tattoo tradition taps into centuries-old folklore. Historically seen as unlucky due to legends tied to Norse myths, medieval tales, and biblical stories,the 13th has shifted in meaning over time. Popularized in part by the Friday the 13th horror film franchise beginning in 1980, the date became firmly rooted in modern superstition.

Tattoo culture has since reclaimed it, turning the once-feared day into an accessible, symbolic event, often marking milestones, celebrating individuality, or serving as an introduction to tattooing itself.

Explore more behind this date on sites like History.com or the Library of Congress Folklife Center and get inspired for a custom Friday the 13th tattoo.

CUSTOM DESIGN PRICING

Let your artist know the budget you have in mind for your custom piece at the time of your consultation.
