Late-night legends Insomnia Cookies are offering an exciting new promotion that’s not for the faint-hearted or those who want to keep their skin unmarked; they are genuinely offering free cookies for life to anyone who comes and gets a tattoo.
Taking place for one day only later this week, as well as serving up their irresistible hot and cold treats, Insomnia Cookies will be offering people who truly love the brand, their baked goods, or just freebies in general, a chance to earn themselves cookies for life.
It really is about as simple as it sounds – there’s no catch, you simply have to be in the right place at the right time and willing to get a random cookie-related tattoo on your body, of course.
If you or someone you know is covered in seemingly random designs anyway, this is nothing short of a golden opportunity.
Insomnia has teamed up with city centre parlour Rain City Tattoo Collective, based over in Chinatown, to deliver the exciting crossover promotion to Mancs after some new ink and a lifetime supply of complimentary cookies.

The offer – fittingly titled ‘Till Death Dough Us Part’ (very good) – has been set up to promote their new loyalty card app, where you can grab rewards when you buy cookies, ice cream sandwiches, hot chocolate and more.
In fact, even before you go right ahead and get a tattoo, you can score a new member bonus and earn yourself one deluxe cookie by simply signing up for the rewards scheme.

Customers can earn a whopping 10 points for every £1 spent and a classic cookie awaits you at just 250 points. You can download the app HERE.
As for the official Insomnia tattoo that will score those cookies for life, you can see the different designs that you can choose from down below:
So how does it work? Well, the offer is only available from their Fallowfield store on Sunday, 18 August from 11am until close.

The free Insomnia Cookies for life tattoo offer will be strictly first come, first serve, and you’d be a fool if you think you’re the only person who will be queuing up for this one, so we’d advise being there bright and early.
But fear not, even if you end up missing out, you can always order yourself some of their exclusive temporary tattoos to claim your free box of four cookies until Monday, 19 August.
You can find the full terms and conditions HERE, but if you don’t mind getting a cute little cookie-based tattoo somewhere on your person, stunning scenes like these could be in your future:

Inside Manchester’s new padel club with a Pot Kettle Black cafe and courtside cocktail bar
Daisy Jackson
Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, and it’s really picking up speed in Manchester now too with another city centre club opening this month.
The Pollen Club is a little different to the others, in that it’s fully undercover and protected from Manchester’s less-than-favourable weather.
And another thing that makes it a must-visit is the cafe attached to it – a third site for the beloved Pot Kettle Black.
The Pollen Club and Pot Kettle Black have both taken over a prominent city centre spot just off Deansgate, at the foot of the recently-opened Treehouse Hotel.
There are two state-of-the-art padel courts inside, with a mezzanine terrace for enjoy Pot Kettle Black’s offerings.
In summer, there are plans to launch a bar downstairs too, where you can sip spritzes courtside from loungers and swing seats.
The exciting new Manchester padel club will host pop up events, DJ takeovers and an extended evening food offering.

And even if you’re not heading inside The Pollen Club, Pot Kettle Black has a grab-and-go hatch facing onto Blackfriars Street, making their delicious coffees, sandwiches and pastries (from their own bakery Half Dozen Other) even more accessible.
Commenting on the opening of the new site, Pot Kettle Black co-owner, Mark Flanagan said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have opened our third Pot Kettle Black site at The Padel Club. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team.
“After ten years in the city we’ve been enjoying seeing some familiar faces stopping by for a coffee and we can’t wait to get started on our programme of summer events!”
Insomnia Cookies is giving away FREE cookies to anyone with these two names

Manchester’s late-night sweet treat spot Insomnia Cookies is dishing out freebies this week… but there’s a catch.
You have to be called one of two specific names to get one.
With the long bank holiday weekend upon us, those in-the-know will also have noticed that this Sunday isn’t just Easter Sunday, it also happens to be 4/20… and that means Insomnia Cookies is back with its ‘blazing’ £4.20 deal, giving you the chance to bag a box of four warm cookies while saving nearly £7 at the same time.
But even better still, if you happen to have either the first or middle name ‘Mary’ or ‘Jane’, then you can also get yourself a warm tasty cookie for free.
To mark both 4/20, and celebrate the launch of its newest strain of mouthwatering cookie, the Mary Jane, anyone called Mary or Jane can pop into either of Insomnia Cookies’ two Manchester city centre sites – Cross Street and University Green – show their valid ID with their name on, and walk alway with a cookie free of charge.
If you want to try the new Mary Jane cookie, then this limited-edition special is made up of a cookies n cream dough base, packed with rainbow sprinkles.
The freebie deal has been running all week, and you have up until 3am on Monday 21 April to take advantage of it.
Customers will be limited to one free cookie per day.

If you aren’t lucky enough to be called one of those two names though, then thankfully you can still make some great savings on a classic four-pack of cookies over the spring bank holiday weekend, and for every four-pack sold, £1 will be donated to Groundwork – a charity helping make Manchester greener for nature and for local people.
“We’re calling for Marys and Janes to join us to live the high life with free cookies all week,” commented Millie Ralston, Head of Marketing at Insomnia Cookies.
