Is this American? I ask because in England I've never heard of giving extra money to a tattoo artist after agreeing on how much money I'm going to give them. Why wouldn't they just give the total cost upfront?

Seems like a US tip culture thing. I'm Swedish and at the restaurant I work at (McDonalds) I make 90 dollars an hour. I also get 10 months paid vacation per year and 5 years of paternity leave whenever I feel the need to have a child (which I would never do of course because of climate change, etc:) Also I get 100 paid sick days a year and healthcare here is completely free. So there's really no need for tips here. Basically, I think the tipping system in the US (and the whole country in general) should be burned down to the ground, it's vile ashes scattered to the wind.

You were doing so good until you used the wrong 'its'!
