Not new. I’ve been tipping my tattoo artists for the last 25 years
56 u/gottimw 10h ago edited 10h ago That's like tipping a plumber. Why? Can you explain what's the logic behind it? -4 u/ArmNo7463 10h ago Happy artists make better art i assume lol 18 u/gottimw 10h ago edited 10h ago Then why don't they ask for happy price for their tattoo? -2 u/ArmNo7463 10h ago Because humans appreciate gifts / spontaneity lol. I don't agree with US style forced tipping. But if someone is drawing permanently on my skin. 20 bucks for a job well done doesn't seem unreasonable. 1 u/imSwan 10h ago Is it spontaneous if I feel forced to do so though Nothing is a gift or spontaneous in US tipping culture 1 u/ArmNo7463 9h ago I don't disagree, but I'm not American lol. It's just whenever I've commissioned works in the past, I tend to avoid negotiating down too much, and offer tips afterwards to garner warm feelings for follow up works. Seems reasonable to me to have a similar attitude to tattoos.
