Do you tip the tat guy? (or gal)

I tipped both times...the first time it was 100 and the guy was up in the front talking to his boss and the boss basically said he was gonna get 300 for the day and I had seen him work on 2 full back pieces earlier that day and knew he was booked all day too and knew one of them was 200...I felt bad so I gave him and extra 30

the second time I tipped 40 cause it was big and he kept havng to take breaks because of the angles i was at

 

Damn Straight, tips are always appreciated

 

yeah. i always tip like 20 percent. but if 20 per cent is under 20 bucks i give 20 anyway.

 

my rule for tipping

i tip anyone who tends to you
think about it this way

you tip waitresses and cab drivers and people that not only have a service, but make it somewhat personnal

like the waitress comes to your table greets makes you comfy and keeps you from bitching

the cashier is just selling you something
there is no real tending there

the tattoo and peircing artist actually tends to you
it is a personnal service and you are buying their art and their time

that is my rule

you only see the pizza dude for maybe a minute if he doesnt want to chill, but you tip him for dealing with retards... (pizza delivery drivers would understand and agree)
LOL

 

chris!!!!!!!!!! i love you!!!!!!!!!

 

I was so freakin' happy with the job my tat artist did that I tipped him $10 on a $50 tat!

 

yeah i was lucky... it was a 14 word quote and it turned out beautifully.

 

I always do, how much should depend on the tat, the work involved and the quality of the work. 15% to 20% is good.

 

I always tip too. It's good karma.
