Chipotle Returns Tattoo Discount for Friday the 13th

Chipotle Mexican Grill will resume its "Tatted Like a Chipotle Bag" promotion on Friday, November 13. From 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. local time, participating restaurants in the United States and Canada will give a free entrée to customers who show visible ink. The deal requires a purchase of an entrée of equal or greater value.

The promotion does not require permanent body art. Customers may qualify with temporary tattoos or designs drawn with a marker. The offer applies only to in-person orders. Each check is limited to five free entrées, and additional restrictions apply.

The discount originated in June 2025. It was inspired by a social media meme comparing heavily tattooed individuals to the restaurant's illustrated takeout bags. When the promotion returned in March 2026, it helped the company achieve its highest single-day sales in its history at that time.

Houston residents can participate at local participating locations during the one-hour window on Friday. The chain is bringing back the event to capitalize on the popularity of the previous iterations.
