Comic-Con 2025: Get Inked at Bards & Cards with Sugoi Tattoo

Looking for a Comic-Con souvenir that won’t get bent in your bag or lost in a hotel room? For SDCC 2025, Bards & Cards is teaming up with Sugoi Tattoos & Piercings to bring you something way cooler than con-exclusive merch: real, nerdy, permanent tattoos, right here in the Gaslamp.

Whether you’re into d20s, anime icons, magical glyphs, or just want something bold to remember the weekend by, Sugoi is offering walk-up and appointment-based flash tattoos from Thursday to Sunday, right inside the shop.

🗓️ Tattoo Hours:

• Thursday, July 24

• Friday, July 25

• Sunday, July 27
  

• ⏰ 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM daily

Note: No tattooing on Saturday—catch us the other three days!

🖋️ What to Expect:

• Flash tattoos starting at $150

• A wide selection of fandom-themed designs

• Safe, sterile setup inside the shop

• Walk-ins welcome (first come, first served)

• Email sugoiitattoos@gmail.com if you’d like to book in advance

The flash sheet is loaded with iconic designs—perfect for Magic players, anime fans, dungeon delvers, and everyone who wants to wear their nerd heart on their sleeve (or ankle, or forearm).

📍 Where It’s All Happening:

Bards & Cards Game Shop
936 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
(Just a short walk from the San Diego Convention Center!)

While you're here, grab some board games, hang out with the community, or snag a photo of your fresh ink under our wall of fame. This is our first-ever tattoo event during Comic-Con, and we’re making it something special.
