Chipotle Mexican Grill is set to revive its unique promotion, “Tatted Like a Chipotle Bag,” offering a one-hour BUY-ONE-GET-ONE (BOGO) deal. This flash event, happening on March 13, 2026, from 3 to 4 p.m. local time, will take place at participating locations across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.
Tatted Like a Chipotle Bag Promotion
The promotion invites fans who have tattoos, whether they are permanent, temporary, or even drawn on, to visit Chipotle restaurants during the one-hour window. Customers wearing any form of tattoo will receive a free menu item with the purchase of an entrée of equal or greater value.
- Date: March 13, 2026
- Time: 3 to 4 p.m. local time
- Locations: Participating restaurants in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, and Germany
Stephanie Perdue, Chipotle’s Interim Chief Marketing Officer, mentioned that the promotion aims to strengthen the brand’s connection to the tattoo community. It also highlights fan creativity, turning an online meme into a real-world celebration.
Collaboration with Swae Lee
As part of the event, Chipotle partnered with multi-platinum hip-hop star Swae Lee. Together, they created an exclusive temporary tattoo flash sheet that reflects the bold artistry typically seen on Chipotle’s takeout bags.
The flash tattoo designs will be available exclusively at a specific Chipotle restaurant in Midtown Miami located at 3201 N. Miami Ave. This location is not just significant for being in Miami but also because Swae Lee himself hails from this city, known as one of America’s most tattooed cities.
Historical Context and Cultural Impact
The phrase “tatted like a Chipotle bag” gained popularity after a viral moment during a 2019 football championship performance, where fans compared performer tattoos to Chipotle artwork. This unique phrase has since become synonymous with fan expressions of loyalty to the brand.
During last year’s similar promotion on June 13, Chipotle achieved record sales in the non-peak hour slot, showing strong interest in this fan-oriented offer.
