How Much To Tip Tattoo Artist. Now, this is quite the obvious statement, but you should tip your artist after your session or after they complete your tattoo. Warning signs that a tattoo shop may not be clean.
I've had some people tip me ludicrous amounts ($100 on a $50 tattoo!) and sometimes tip me tiny amounts (one guy tipped me $2, but i knew that he didn't make much money at all, and the $2 actually meant more to him than it would to me, so i was blown away and thanked him a lot because he really meant well by it). :( i will have to remedy that on the next piece. However, consider this number a baseline, as some tattoos require more or less work than others.
Tipping your tattoo artist or piercer.
However, consider this number a baseline, as some tattoos require more or less work than others. This will still cost the artist the sterile supplies, ink, and time necessary to do this, so i'd consider the tip the payment towards that. Anything over 20% is remarkably great. :( i will have to remedy that on the next piece.
