Tipping culture in the US is actually for every service rendered?

Yeah I don’t understand tipping your tattoo artist, like it get it’s normalized, but they set the price

It's traditionally been a cash tip that people want so they can avoid taxes

Back in the day people didn't always set their own price if they worked in a shop, but thats a pretty dated practice now. Every artist I know today does set their own prices.

I always thought it was for the original tipping purpose. They did a good job and you want them to continue doing a good job on future pieces. I didn't realize there was an option to not tip an artist.

I think it depends on the country. I'm from the US where you tip tattoo artists. I now live in Germany where it's less common to do so here. My tattoo artist here is German but he works at a studio in the US half the year, where he obviously gets tips. So I always tip him here in Germany both because I'm super happy with the work and because I worry it would low key come off as a little mean not getting a tip from an American client who normally would be tipping tattoo artists.
