Lucky 13

Thirteen, an unlucky number to many, is actually an impressive figure if you’re talking about the life span of a typical indie business in Phoenix. Maybe that’s why Arizona’s most renowned tattoo/piercing destination is throwing a big-ass party to celebrate its 13th birthday. The Club Tattoo Anniversary Party goes off...

Thirteen, an unlucky number to many, is actually an impressive figure if you’re talking about the life span of a typical indie business in Phoenix. Maybe that’s why Arizona’s most renowned tattoo/piercing destination is throwing a big-ass party to celebrate its 13th birthday. The Club Tattoo Anniversary Party goes off with live performances by Rabbit in the Moon, Julien-K, and Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington (one of Tattoo’s three owners). There’ll also be a DJ set by Shiny Toy Guns’ Jeremy Dawson. Luckily for us, Club Tattoo shows no signs of going belly up; in fact, a new shop in Las Vegas is scheduled to open next year. Totally another excuse to let loose.
