Love Old Bay? Free tattoos for spice fans during Preakness Week – WTOP News

Saturday is the Preakness Stakes — the Triple Crown horse race and day of exuberant festivities at Pimlico Race Course, in Baltimore. The excitement starts early — tomorrow, Old Bay tattoos will be available at the Baltimore Tattoo Museum.

This is Preakness Week — the several days leading up to Saturday’s Preakness Stakes, at Pimlico Race Course, in Baltimore, Maryland.

The “middle jewel of the Triple Crown,” is held two weeks after the Kentucky Derby, and three weeks before the Belmont Stakes — and is known for exuberant yearly parties on the infield of Pimlico.

Some are only too happy to begin reveling — and marketing — long before Saturday.

McCormick and Company, the Maryland-based spice company that makes Old Bay seasoning is offering free Old Bay tattoos — yes, they’re permanent — Tuesday, at the Baltimore Tattoo Museum.

The tattoos will be available on a first come, first served basis, between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Participants must be at least 18 years of age, and sign a waiver.

Three custom designs will be available, which will feature crabs, crab mallets, the Old Bay logo and a Black-Eyed Susan, which is Maryland’s state flower.

Chris Keaton, of the Baltimore Tattoo Museum, told Baltimore Fishbowl there will be seven tattoo artists on site, and the tattoos can take between one and three hours, depending on the design people choose and the body placement.

He recalled during a similar tattoo event in 2019, they were able to offer approximately 75 tattoos during the day-long promotion.

Participants can also enter for a chance to win two Platinum VIP tickets to Saturday’s event, with access to Preakness Live concert, featuring Bruno Mars.

Student shot in Joppatowne, Maryland high school

Student shot in Joppatowne, Maryland high school

One teen shot another during a dispute in a Maryland high school bathroom Friday in what authorities called an isolated incident.

The victim, a 15-year-old student at Joppatowne High School, was in serious condition after being airlifted to a hospital, the Harford County Public Schools said in a news release, citing information it received from the county sheriff’s department.

A 16-year-old student whom police identified as the shooter fled shortly afterward but was caught minutes later nearby, according to the news release. Officials said no information would be released immediately about the weapon, which had not been recovered.

The state’s attorney has said the suspect will be charged, the release said, citing Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler.

Shortly after the shooting, the sheriff’s office asked people to avoid the area, but emphasized that the confrontation was an “isolated incident, not an active shooter.” A parent-student reunification center was established at a nearby church. More than 100 personnel responded to the high school about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Baltimore, Gahler said.

The fight happened two days after a shooter whom authorities identified as a 14-year-old student killed four people at a high school outside Atlanta. Wednesday’s attack renewed debate about safe storage laws for guns and had parents wondering how to talk to their children about school shootings and trauma.
