Do you tip a Tattoo artist ?

[Strider]

I am getting my second tattoo tonight and I was wondering whether it is common pratice to tip the artist. I didn't with the first, and felt kinda bad. It is just a small job, $100.

It depends on if you want a fucked up tat or not. I would say yes, tip them.

Always tip your artist

i'd go w/yes

I always tip. On my second and current artist I didn't tip until the third one then gave her a huge tip. More than one of them cost to make up for it. I just didn't have the money at first plus was waiting until I got some of the work done.

tip them. especially if they are good. that way if you ever go to them agian for another one, they won't be thinking "oh yeah, i remember this guy cause he doesn't tip......"
