I have two huge pieces and never tipped. If you want more money charge me more.... that's why you negotiate the price before they start working.
Tattoos and tipping

Mine got a big tip. Incredible detail on the V42 dagger and the the Nous Defions skull with crossed arrows and dagger. Get compliments on them all the time. Had it done in Vilnius.
I guess a good boss recognizes excellent work.
I guess you really missed the whole point.
ugh jealous....
What a fun place. They even have a large bust of Frank Zappa in the artsy section in the city. That section has its own passports and claims to be a nation itself. Haha.
Plenty of bars with amazing ladies.
Oh, the place I got my tats at were in the film Parlor.
On my backpiece which was 4, quite long sessions. ( well felt that way, because getting ink on your spine ****ing hurts. First session was about 150 bucks.. I gave her a $50 tip..
Next session was the same amount of time and she just said " $50 is good this time." So I gave her another $50 tip
The next two sessions were never more than $100 for the same amount of time.
Not to mention, after the first session and taking care of her, I could just call her at any time, and she would make time for me.

Tipping is tipping. Any service should be game to tip if you're happy with it & want to show it.
Heck I tipped my cabinet maker. And my body shop guy. Oh, and my tuner.
If you're a repeat customer, they'll remember that as soon as you walk in the door.

Damn, $50 & $100 for a long session on a complex tattoo? How the hell does she keep the doors open?
Wasn't insanely long.. but I have a lot of line work which is why it took so long. It's honestly not " a lot of tattoo" in some peoples minds... its just a shit ton of line work. And that on my shoulders, and spine.. ****ing hurt. and made it FEEL like 20840483058 hours
Also this was over 10 years ago.. ( holy shit that makes me feel old) I have I think total less than $500 into it. ( not including the tip)
Yeah, I plan on it! just have to decide what I want next...thinking about some sort of a memorial to the dog I just lost :-(
Thank you. This is exactly how it’s supposed to work.
She charges non-tippers more. Duh.
I have sleeves on both arms, chest piece, and a leg sleeve. I've always tipped my artist, but also doesn't charge me the full amount I'm in the chair. For instance, if I was getting tattooed for 3 1/2 hours he'll usually call it 3 hours. My artist charges 150 per hour, so that knocks 75 dollars off.
I think most people don't realize how expensive supplies are, especially quality ink. Plus any good artist doing one of a kind piece can spend a great amount of time designing "your" tattoo on their personal time. The artist also has to pay monthly rent on the shop and/or there stall.
I'm actually having more color added to one of my sleeves at the end of summer.

Exactly.. She makes more for the " shop" off of other customers, and gets a taxed cut from the shop for charging them more.
With someone like me.. she charged me less, but got cash tips.
Customers who pay and tip with cash will almost always pay less AND get preferential treatment.
Foreigners don't tip nor do they understand the concept, the vast majority that is.
Sick dude
