I know the question of how much/what to tip your tattoo artist has been covered extensively, but this question is a little different. It seems a lot of people prefer personalized or thoughful tips instead of money. My next tattoo will be my largest and my first time with this artist. I don’t feel like I know him well enough to get something personal/special yet. How do you get something for someone you don’t really know?

In this case, monetary compensation is probably best.
But while you’re getting this tattoo… look around their station. Get to know them over the course of the big tattoo and you’ll figure out what they dig.

  1. As an artist, I need those tips. It is important. I do a lot of work and stress about it coming out right. I stand behind my work, but this whole I don’t see the point is stupid. I need to pay bills and if I don’t tattoo I don’t eat.
    Please be kind and help us out. If you tip anyone else why not us.
