Got into an argument about this with a friend a few years back, I don't have any tattoos and this concept floored me.
It's literally a set, defined, unmoving price point that they can choose. "But I want to pay them fairly"
Ok, part of being a working adult is valuing your time and work accurately, therefore you charge appropriately. If you charge 200$ for a tattoo, and 100$ for your time, just say it's 300$
Do not ask the person to pay 200$ in the hopes that they will tip you 100$.
My wife worked as a server for a long time and she is adamant about tipping servers, our housekeeper, or anyone else she deems has a "struggle" job. But our landscaper, mail person, plumber garage truck drivers, get the payment they asked for.

Right? Like, set your price properly instead of making me guess the tip algorithm.
