I did once because he did some nice work

Bigwilly · 03-05-2005, 08:25 AM

is it like a waitress or something where they expect a tip?

BastarD · 03-05-2005, 08:51 AM

My best friend makes tatoo projects. He does great work, some of his arts are amazing. He is really cheap - his prices starts from 30$. He had situations, while buyer paid him 1000% of his price, just because his project was fuckin amazing..

So I think, yea, you should tip em if work is really good..

Oncle_Benny · 03-05-2005, 08:56 AM

exactly...When I got my tattoo (piercing/tattoo place) I did it and a few weeks later I got a piercing (tip again) and bought a few other things that came out totally free (tip < cost of free things) so you don't loose anything doing it.

this is not a meal you will shit out tomorrow - its a part of you forever. tip them well ... reputable artists put a great deal of care in their work ... i tip the living bjesus out of them.

Tala · 03-05-2005, 09:19 AM

I ALWAYS tip My artist. The better the job and the better the attitude, the better the tip.

Fletch XXX · 03-05-2005, 09:20 AM

if you tip anyone in your life, it better be your tat artist.

shame on anyone who doesnt.

Bigwilly · 03-05-2005, 09:44 AM

What If you didn't like his work?

nofx · 03-05-2005, 09:52 AM

Then you should have done a little more investigating of his past works. A good tattoo artist doesn't turn skill on and off. A good tattoo artist produces good tattoos. If you convey what you are looking for properly, have checked his past work and haven't pissed him off, things should always turn out right.

As far as tip goes, I always tip ATLEAST 15% on the entire price of the tattoo. More if I am so inclined but never less than that.

sherie · 03-05-2005, 10:40 AM

I tip almost everyone that provides a service. So yep, I do tip him, I don't think they expect it, but it's always nice, especially if they've done great work or spent a lot of time on you.

That?s like anything in life itself.......do your homework....investigate.....you wouldn?t want someone who just passed the bar to defend you for double homicide or an intern conduct your double bypass surgery.
