Good morning,

Today is one of the most superstitious days of the year: Friday the 13th. 

Although the origin of why this unlucky day is unknown, many believe it relates to Christianity, according to a previous Post report. 13 people attended the Last Supper and Jesus was crucified on Friday the 13th.

Need something to get your mind off of your paraskevidekatriaphobia (the official name of the fear of Friday the 13th)? Thunder Bunny Tattoo Parlor, 26 W. Stimson Ave., is offering $31 tattoos to celebrate the infamous holiday. 

The tattoos are on a first come, first served basis and customers can choose from hundreds of preselected designs, according to a Facebook post
