Deal trackers report that Chipotle is teasing it. If it runs like the last two times, anyone with a tattoo, even a temporary or drawn-on one, gets a free entrée with a purchased entrée, in restaurant only, from 3 to 4 PM local time. We'll update this page as soon as Chipotle posts the terms.

How the Chipotle tattoo BOGO worked last time
These are the official rules from Friday, March 13, 2026:
- What you get: buy one entrée, get one free
- When: 3:00 to 4:00 PM local time, one hour only
- Who: anyone with a tattoo. Real, temporary or drawn-on tattoos all count; the restaurant team decides
- Where: in restaurant only at participating US and Canada locations (it also ran in the UK, France and Germany). Not valid on the app, online, delivery or catering orders
- Limit: up to 5 free items per check, and each free item needs one tattooed customer and a full-price entrée of equal or greater value
- Kids' meals don't count as the paid entrée
- No Rewards membership needed, but paid entrées earn points
- Can't be combined with other offers
Do drawn-on tattoos count at Chipotle?
Yes. Chipotle's terms said a tattoo can be real, temporary or drawn on. A Sharpie doodle worked in March, but staff have the final say, so make it look like a tattoo.
Chipotle tattoo BOGO history
| Date | What happened |
|---|---|
| Fri, June 13, 2025 | First "Tatted Like a Chipotle Bag" BOGO, 3–4 PM, plus free flash tattoo sheets at 14 restaurants |
| Fri, March 13, 2026 | Back with rapper Swae Lee, in the US, Canada and Europe. Free Swae Lee flash tattoo sheets at the Midtown Miami Chipotle |
| Fri, Nov 13, 2026 | Expected; not announced yet |
The name comes from a meme: people online said tattoo-covered stars were "tatted like a Chipotle bag," after the drawings on Chipotle's paper bags. Chipotle says the March 2026 BOGO gave it its biggest sales day ever, about 10% above its National Burrito Day 2024 record.
Tips for Friday
- Go early. Chipotle warned of crowds at most restaurants in March
- Bring a tattoo, real or drawn on, for each person who wants a free entrée
- Order in person (the app and delivery don't qualify)
- Pay for the pricier entrée. The free one must cost the same or less
