I must be a gang member as well my fellow enthusiast. They better come get me!
Americans are wild. The creator of the Friday the 13th tattoo ritual based on old sailing tattoo tradition is Oliver Peck, an American tattoo artist who has made this very popular within tattoo culture in the last several decades. Every Friday the 13th he tattoos $13 #13 tattoos for 24 hours along with all the artists in his studio. This has caught on throughout the world and now many tattoo enthusiasts have at least one lucky 13 tattoo amongst their collections. It is in reference to taking back the bad liluck associated with Friday the 13th.
Oliver Peck lives and works in DALLAS TEXAS the heart of the bullshit movement and is even somewhat of a rich celebrity in his own right.
No wonder your problems are so large.
See my comment below /above for a brief explanation. I thought people might not know what this person was referring to.
