DO tip your tattoo artist! This should be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, it's not. If you didn't know that tipping a tattoo artist is customary, YOU DO NOW! Tattoo artists DO NOT get paid an hourly wage- they earn a percentage of the money you pay for your tattoo and that's it. They depend, heavily, on tips to support themselves. You wouldn't NOT tip a waiter unless the service was really bad, would you?
Your tattoo artist is marking you for life, something far more serious than even a fancy meal, so hasn't he/she earned at least the recognition that a waitperson gets? If you receive exceptional service, show your appreciation by tipping. As a general rule, tipping 10% is a MINIMUM, 15-20% is normal and anything more is considered tipping heavily. If you don't have the extra money to tip, at least explain that to your artist (they'll understand and appreciate it)- if you can, bring them a tip the next time you have a few extra dollars. Clients who are known to tip always get a little extra 'love' from their artist.
Tipping at a tattoo studio is generally a personal decision, but it's common to tip around 15-20% of the total cost. Since your tattoo will cost $3000, a 15-20% tip per sitting would be: 15% tip: $450 20% tip: $600 You can adjust within this range based on factors like the complexity of the design, the artist's skill, and your overall satisfaction with the work. It's always a good idea to communicate with your artist about their tipping preferences or policies.
