The artists want a tip because so they don’t plan to report that income. Simple as that. They document they charged $100, taxes take $30 so their take home $70. If they charge $75 and you tip $25, they won’t report that part and take home will be $77.50.
~10% increased profitability and, in theory, only costs the government their taxes.
