Flesh Effects is a new tattoo shop in Allentown. At first it was a new shop it's a little slow. >> REPORTER: That is until Simon Holden walked in and got this tattoo on his neck. >> I knew with the ticket prices of going to the world series I didn't think I'd get to go so I thought this is my way of showing how proud I am of the phillies. I thought lets offer a free Phillies P. in the last week we've literally done about 20 P's on people. >> REPORTER: One of them is Simon's fiance Teri Larson. >> I've wanted some type of tattoo either to match simon or something inspired by him. >> REPORTER: The tattoo would normally cost between 60 and 80 dollars....but Flesh effects will continue to offer it for free as long as the fightin's are playing this season. saw the sign out front. So I just stopped in and it was my first tattoo. Just on a whim, Yeah. >> REPORTER: They'll do them in any color...although they say pink for breast cancer awareness is quite popular.
