NEW YORK - Would you get inked for free coffee? 7-Eleven is offering free java to fans who get a special – and semi-permanent – tattoo in commemoration of a new collaboration the chain has with the band Green Day.
7-Eleven announced the promotion last week to celebrate two milestones: the 30th anniversary of Green Day's breakout album "Dookie" and the 60th anniversary of 7-Eleven "originating the idea of freshly brewed coffee in to-go cups."
Green Day’s coffee brand, Punk Bunny Coffee, is debuting an exclusive Anniversary Blend for the promotion at 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores nationwide.

The first 50 fans who show up beginning at 8 a.m. ET on Aug. 28 at 7-Eleven at 800 6th Ave in New York City and receive a custom 7-Eleven x Punk Bunny tattoo will get free coffee for 711 days, the company said.
Participants must be 21 and older to participate, the company added.
"The unique, semi-permanent tattoo is designed by Lady Cobra, a fellow Bay Area native and tattoo artist who will be on-site at the event inking some fans herself," 7-Eleven said in a press release.
