Tattoo tip etiquette??

Question

Hey ladies! So, back in November, I got a free flash tattoo on Black Friday. I'm going in for a free touch up tomorrow, and I'm wondering how much I should tip the artist? It's a very small tattoo and there are only a few little spots that need to be touched up with more black. Any and all advice is welcome!

Answer

I’d probably still give him $10-$20 bucks for it. Depending if it’s color, size and what he’s touching up.

Answer

Typically tipping is done just as it would be in a restaurant or salon, 15-20%. Which people always think sounds insane but your artist is worth it. If the piece was very small (and free) and you’re now going to get a free touch up on said free piece I’d throw them at least 20. Especially since you’ve not paid anything so far.

Answer

I always tip. $20-$30 for tattoos and $10 for piercings
