    Yup, I even tip the person who does my piercings. Many of them (where I go) are using it to pay for college so it's important.

    Absolutely. I usually tip around 20%. I know it becomes more expensive, but if you look at it as a one time payment on a lifelong investment, it's not that bad!

    I tip but it isn't the 40% that people are talking about or even the 25% ... It all depends on the peice for me!
    Curious though what does everyone pay for an hour of tattoing? I know where I am its expensive! So tipping that high is hard

    Of course! But just like my waiter, hair dresser, etc I won't for poor service.

    Without a doubt - Yes.

    *I also kick-in a little "extra" becuase he gives me his shop discount ...

    I'm not worried about the expense part of it - this is a big deal, I want a gorgeous tattoo, and I want to not offend the guy doing it so maybe he'll do another gorgeous tattoo sometime in the future. :) I just want to be appropriate.

    Yes, I always try to tip (although the lady I go to is insists most times to not accept it). My first two I tipped...I dont' remember how much as it was so long ago but generally I do 20%...really depends on the price, the tat etc.

    The last 3 times was by said woman so I didn't tip..she wouldn't let me! lol

    if you work in the service industry and you do a great job, you'll always get a healthy tip from me.

    I have 5 tattoos and I have always given a tip, especially if it is custom work. I have a few bigger ones and after awhile he just wouldn't take my money anymore!! I think it depends on the relationship you have with the artist too!

    Yep! My artist gave me a $70 tat and I gave him a $30 tip... When I went to get my tat touched up I had no extra tip money so I brought him homemade goodies! He loved it!!

    I always tip! It's kind of like getting your hair done. I feel like with most services we tip people, tattoos are no different. Enjoy. :)

    I always give them enough to have a drink on me. Tipping is not so common here though.
