A good tattoo artist doesn't have to take your business. If you aren't tipping them, then you don't think their work is good enough for a tip.

I am unfamiliar with how tattoo parlors pay artists. Do they not set their own rates and just pay rent?

Most of the time it’s this.

Most of the time they decide their own rates and just pay rent? Then asking for a tip is beyond absurd.

Yeah my artist charges $200 an hour and hits the “no tip” button on the POS when you pay by card before flipping the screen to you.

I would absolutely require some convincing to take a tip on something that i decided how much it cost.
