If you get a Parquet Courts tattoo, you get guestlist for life

by Josiah Hughes

How much do you love Brooklyn art punk band Parquet Courts? If the answer is that you love them enough to eternally mark your body with their imagery, you might just save a bit of money on concerts.

In a post on their official site, the band explained that you’ll get free shows for life if you get a PC tattoo:

Got a Parquet Courts tattoo? What the hell were you thinking? In order to shelter your fragile soul from the sting of deep, venomous regret, Parquet Courts are going to allow you free entrance, for life, into any Parquet Courts show.

It’s not all free, however — they included a stipulation that the deal doesn’t include “side-projects, solo performances, weddings, open mic nights, ‘talks,’ etc.”

Still, that’s not a bad deal when you consider just how much Parquet Courts have been touring of late. Hell, if you followed them around internationally, you’d at least know your cover charge was covered.

Plus, if the tattoo’s small enough (like the snake-themed Parquet Courts tattie above), you could easily get it covered up when you inevitably move on and regret the whole decision.

All said, it’s certainly a generous move — we highly doubt the Drake girl, the Jon Bovi guy or any of these poor saps got anything good out of their inking decisions.
