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?

My first time travelling to America I learned this immediately. We had to take the airport shuttle bus from the terminal to some other area if the airport. My suitcase was in the storage in the side of the bus. A guy pulled it out and handed it to me and then held his hand out. I didn't notice until he said 'excuse me! Tip expected'

I was confused and ignored him and didn't process the interaction until later as I was jetlagged.

Like, dude, if you weren't standing there I'd have pulled my bag out myself. You get nothing.

Shit we got places now where if you go up to a counter, say 1 soda, they hand you a bottle of soda, and then swipe your card the machine will ask you if you want to leave a tip lmao.
