People tip tattoo artists?I mean I tip things outside of restaurants, etc when I know the person is on hourly and does a good job, but largely tattoo artists work at their own rate and take all if not a % of the cost, they just pay a monthly chair cost, etc. so why on earth would I tip for that outside of so thrilled with the work I felt compelled to naturally.
I’ve had tattoo artists state they expect a tip up front.
I’ve had others say don’t worry about it.
It all depends I guess. But I do agree, considering they set their own fees why not just be upfront about all that? Maybe for tax purposes? But I highly doubt most tattoo artists are experts at tax law.
