I’ve been downvoted to oblivion for saying this before too lol. Tattoo artists, barbers, stylists, etc literally set their own rates. They have full control over what they charge you. They can even turn down certain requests. If they think their work is worth more than they charge…..they should just increase the price?? Like, I get accepting tips when they’re offered, but to expect it when you’re the one setting the price is ridiculous.

In the UK I don't know a single person who's ever tipped their tattoo artists. This seems like a US culture thing.

In the UK I don't think I've seen anyone ever tip anything except a meal, and even then........
