Lighthouse Tattoo is hosting a St. Patrick’s Day party on Saturday, March 16th, starting at 7pm. This is an 18 and up, BYOB (no drugs) event. Everyone’s invited and feel free to bring a date/friend/ or both, admission if free. We will have free food and beer for those interested in the best things in life. We have hired the pyroclastic stylings of the fire dancers from Magnificent Light Entertainment, a bagpiper (we know it’s Scottish and St. Patty’d Day is Irish, but who’s going to pass up a good chance at listening to the ‘pipes’?), we will have a DJ, karaoke, a giant Twister game, an Irish-themed costume contest, and a team drinking contest for a substantial cash prize.

Rules for the drinking contest: Teams of four; each team must have at least one woman; three drinkers will finish 20 oz. beers in succession before the anchor drinks a 34 oz. ‘boot’ (a la Beerfest). Teams will be eliminated single-elimination tournament style. Each team member must pay $10 to enter, winner takes all!

Rules for the costume contest: Contestants must have a recognizably Irish theme or gimmick. Contestants will be judged on originality, humor, sex appeal, authenticity, and overall investment (if your costume cost $600 or you spent three months making it, you’ll score higher), judges will be independent Models of Mass Destruction provided by Mass Destruction Clothing. First place winner will receive a tattoo gift certificate to Cardinal or Lighthouse Tattoo. Consolation prizes will be offered if costumes are worth a damn. Show up to win people!

Parking will be available across the street, and please, don’t bring your drugs onto our property, if you smell like weed, we won’t let you in. If you are under 21 and we catch you drinking, you will be beaten by bikers, no bullshit. If you get into a fight or are caught stealing you will be permanently banned from both shops, and you will probably be beaten by bikers.
