Do I tip the tattoo artist?

Question

Hi everyone, first time getting a tattoo. It’s going to be on my thigh it’s coming out to $500. My question is, am I suppose to tip? & if so, how much?

Answer

Yes, at least $100

Answer

Yes

Answer

My husband says at least $75-$100 depending on if you have a relationship with the artist or not. He got a tattoo last week that cost $150 and he tipped $50. My most expensive tattoo was $160 and with the tip i ended up paying $240-$250. 20% is a good rule of thumb but we tip artists more than we have a good relationship with. If they refuse tips one time we gift them with dinner, beer, weed, handyman services etc

Answer

No, we don't tip here.
 Is that weird? 
Should uk people tip tattoo artists?
