I’ve been downvoted to oblivion for saying this before too lol. Tattoo artists, barbers, stylists, etc literally set their own rates. They have full control over what they charge you. They can even turn down certain requests. If they think their work is worth more than they charge…..they should just increase the price?? Like, I get accepting tips when they’re offered, but to expect it when you’re the one setting the price is ridiculous.
Vancouverite here. Tipping is up to you. If you get specific consultations and customizations etc. that is above and beyond the normal, tip. From our local tattoo shop:
Tipping all depends on the person! The artists will appreciate it if you do but it's not expected.
