They told you your tip had to be 25%? I’ve seen a place before establish the tip percentage for themselves

25% is standard. They're saying they can't afford what is expected.

“Paying 1/5th of the bill extra to the one who provided you service is standard”

Okay then :)

Don't tip your tattoo artist :)

Just plan on finding a new one... and a new one after that... and a new one after that... and a new one after that... and a new one after that...

Funny, 5 years with my artist, him being super happy if I bring him a few snacks and we enjoy every tattoo session.

Why would I need to go to a new tattoo shop ?

If I want, I’ll go back and ask for another price, I’ll compare it to other designs and other artists, because that’s how the free market works.

Tips aren’t required, otherwise they’re called fees.

You just really seem to not be getting it.

Tipping then doesn’t make their work any better. Theres a local artist here who has good reviews, I’ve used him a couple times and each time had my design already made and I just asked him for a price to do it. Paid him whatever he asked and tipped him well to. But his work was not worthy of even the base price I paid.

This shit isn’t like going out to eat. The artist sets the price. If they want 750 instead of 500 fucking say something. The tips in America are for paying the unpaid wage of a worker. Does the artist not get paid for the art already? What the fuck am I tipping for? The expected result? Am I supposed to reward someone extra for… doing the job I’ve already paid for?
