Get Married on Friday the 13th at Art and Sol Tattoo

A One-Day Wedding Experience for Couples Who Don’t Do Ordinary

On Friday the 13th and 14th (Valentines day), Art and Sol Tattoo is turning superstition on its head.

David Meek, a tattoo artist of 19 years, owner of Art and Sol and also an ordained officiant, will be performing weddings all weekend. He’s been tapped before by clients and friends for weddings on Friday the 13th and now he’s offering it to the public.

For one weekend only, we’re hosting a limited number (13) of intimate wedding ceremonies inside our tattoo studio, a shop built on commitment, permanence, and meaningful marks.

If you believe love should be bold, personal, and a little legendary… this is for you.


Why Friday the 13th?

Friday the 13th has long been misunderstood. In tattoo culture, it’s the opposite of bad luck…it’s tradition, rebellion, and choosing your own meaning and of course, its good luck to get tattooed that day.

Add in Valentines day, and we’ve got a special way for tattoo lovers to take a stab at forever.

Getting married on Friday the 13th isn’t tempting fate.
It’s claiming it.


What This Is (and Isn’t)

This is:

  • A real wedding ceremony in a professional tattoo studio
  • A once-a-year, story worthy experience
  • A celebration of love, commitment, and individuality
  • A limited opportunity… only 13 spots

This is not:

  • A courthouse replacement
  • A legal paperwork service
  • A long, drawn out production

*Couples are responsible for obtaining and bringing their own legal marriage license. We handle the ceremony and the experience.

Vow renewals and commitment ceremonies are great too. No need to bring legal docs.


The Experience

  • Short, meaningful ceremonies performed throughout the day
  • A beautifully unconventional setting inside Art and Sol Tattoo
  • Professional, welcoming, and respectful…ever gimmicky, unless you like that.
  • Complimentary ” Love Letter” tattoo of partners initial
  • Craft Beer Toast from Moto Sonora Brewing
  • Optional Friday the 13th tattoo opportunities available the same day

Whether you’re eloping, renewing vows, or doing something unforgettable just because it feels right, this is built for couples who want a story worth telling.


Friday the 13th Tattoos – $13 Tradition

In true Friday the 13th fashion, we’ll also be offering classic $13 good luck tattoos, a tradition rooted in tattoo history.


Very Limited Availability

We’re only hosting a small number of ceremonies, 13 to be exact, to keep the experience personal and smooth.

Once spots are filled, that’s it.

No rain checks. No repeats.


How to Apply

  1. Complete the application form
  2. Bring your valid marriage license on the day of the ceremony (renewals and commitment ceremonies are cool too)
  3. Show up ready to do something unforgettable

Selected couples will receive confirmation details directly from us.
