"13"
It's a symbol of luck, but also entails misfortune before a greater reward.
An occult symbol of resurrection and re-birth, i.e. christ, anti-christ, lucifer, the phoenix, One, return of the messiah, God's incarnation in human form, the visiting that put life on Earth, Jesus.
GOOD LUCK LIKE LUCKY 13
The 13th letter of the alphabet is M . In outlaw biker culture a tatt or patch of the #13 usually means drugs as in Meth or Pot. RUBs and the like often say it stands for Motorcycle.
A tattoist gets a number 13 tattooed on them once they've been in the business for 13years and its a great mark of respect when a tattoist has earnt the right to wear the number 13. Friday the 13th was origninally the day of good luck not bad luck.
Traditional tattoo symbols have kind of lost their meaning, and a certian symbol can mean almost anything. 13 can mean bad luck, it can be associated with the gang MS-13, or it could just be their lucky number.
In playing cards, the Ace can be counted into 13. 13 is mostly used as a lucky number in tattoos, for example you'll often see people with tattoos of a spade with 13 in or around it, this means "ace of spades", and is naturally a symbol of good luck, or even a reminder to always fight to get the best you can get (there is no individual card that is "worth more" than the ace of spades.)
There is also a belief that bad luck recognizes bad luck... hence when bad luck or bad juju is wandering the world looking to start trouble it sees the number 13 and believes it already exists in that space and so therefore goes somewhere else.
Ok I dunno about that last one, but I'm keeping it :-)
