I went for my first tattoo about a week ago and I gave him a heavy tip. The reason is that my artist has a very good reputation, is one of the only guys around that speaks french like me, and I get along with him. So by giving him a tip, I am thanking him for not only a great tattoo, but an awsome tattoo experience. I also feel that doing this makes him happy, and will make him want to work as well on my second piece, and third, and fourth….because I intend on getting many.
I dunno, imo, if someone just created art on you, that will last for ever, why not give a tip?
