STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Today is Friday the 13th, so if you are superstitious, you may believe it to be an unlucky day but for some, they are looking for new ink.

A line forms outside of Rock’n Willy’s Tattoo and Piercing Shop in Stroudsburg, everyone waiting for one thing.

"I’m here to get a tattoo! I mean this is great, Friday the 13th is awesome," said Rhiannon Malarkey, Jim Thorpe.

Malarkey is one of many that run toward tattoo shops when a Friday date lands on 13.
