Today may be Friday the 13th — a day often associated with bad luck — but Chipotle is turning superstition on its head with a deal that might just make your day a little luckier. The popular fast-casual chain is offering a buy-one-get-one (BOGO) entree promotion, and all you need to do is show off a tattoo.

Tattoos = Deals at Chipotle

Although today is shrouded in thoughts of unluckiness, from 3 to 4 p.m. local time, customers who flash any tattoo — permanent, temporary, or even drawn on — can score a free entree with the purchase of another. The promotion draws inspiration from viral internet jokes about being “tatted like a Chipotle bag,” and the brand is leaning in with a playful twist on the meme.

But that’s not all. At 13 select locations across the country, Chipotle will also be handing out exclusive flash tattoo sheets during the same hour-long window. The sheets include 13 unique designs inspired by Chipotle elements — think fresh ingredients, the iconic black fork, and even the signature water cup.

Here are the participating locations for the temporary tattoo giveaway:

Atlanta: 3424 Piedmont Rd, Atlanta, GA 30305 Austin: 801 Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78701

So whether you’re near one of these lucky locations or just love a good deal, Chipotle wants you to get creative. The best part? Your tattoo doesn’t have to be permanent — it just has to show.

And with food prices climbing everywhere, it’s tough to turn down a BOGO burrito opportunity. Because let’s be real: why have one burrito bowl when you can have two?

Just make sure to steer clear of black cats and broken mirrors on your way there.
