Chipotle's tattoo deal is back for Friday the 13th. On Friday, Nov. 13, anyone who walks into a participating Chipotle in the U.S. or Canada between 3 and 4 p.m. local time with a tattoo can buy one entrée and get a second one free.
The tattoo does not have to be permanent. Chipotle's announcement says real ink, temporary tattoos and designs drawn on by hand all qualify, and the offer's terms leave the final call on what qualifies to restaurant staff.
How the deal works
The fine print in Chipotle's release sets these limits:
| Rule | What the terms say |
|---|---|
| Date and time | Friday, Nov. 13, 3 to 4 p.m. local time |
| Where | In restaurants only, at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada |
| Not valid for | Mobile app, online, delivery and catering orders |
| Limit | Five free items per check |
| What you buy | An entrée of equal or greater value for each free item, and kids' meals do not count |
| Who collects | The free item has to be picked up by the person with the tattoo |
So a group of friends cannot have one tattooed person order 10 bowls for everyone. The cap is five free entrées on a single check, and each free entrée needs a paid one beside it. Purchased entrées still earn Chipotle Rewards points, but the deal cannot be combined with other coupons or offers.
Why Chipotle keeps running it
The promotion started as a joke online, where heavily tattooed people were compared to the busy hand-drawn art on Chipotle's takeout bags. Chipotle first turned it into a Friday the 13th offer in June 2025. When it came back on March 13, 2026, Chipotle says it produced the company's biggest sales day ever at that point, about 10% above the previous record from National Burrito Day 2024.
The November deal covers fewer countries. The March offer ran in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France and Germany. This one is limited to the U.S. and Canada.
The Wiz Khalifa bags
This time Chipotle is working with rapper Wiz Khalifa, whose new album "COOL" comes out the same Friday. Limited-edition to-go bags printed with designs based on his tattoos and signed by him will be handed out at one restaurant, the Chipotle at 3510 Forbes Ave. in Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood, from 3 p.m. Eastern while supplies last. A purchase is required, and the limit is one bag per person.
Everyone else can try for one of 13 bags in the Rewards Exchange sweepstakes. From Nov. 12 through Nov. 14, Rewards members can spend 10 points per sweepstakes entry, up to 20 entries. His usual order, a double chicken bowl over white rice with roasted chili-corn salsa and romaine, plus chips and guacamole on the side, can be ordered in the Chipotle app and on the website starting Friday.
