you should always tip.

they only make a % of what you pay them... and the shop makes the rest.

so like a new tattoo guy makes like 35% a established one might make 45% ...

so tiping is a good thing.

you have two small tattoo's... i would esitmate to be about 1.5 hours worth of work.

Sit in a chair for 8 hours straight, and see how you feel.

not saying they hurt, just saying your ass won't be falling a sleep.

You always need to tip them, out of respect. Especially if you are going to the same guy or gal more then once.

Why would you not tip????

I almost fell asleep during my shoulder cap (4 1/4 hours) and also when he was doing the inside of my arm. So I can see how he says he can about fall asleep.

ALWAYS tip your artist.

<--gonna be gettin my first tat as soon as i get some cash together.

I'm with Garrick, my biggest one took about 4 hours also, finally got to where I couldn't feel it anymore and was tired as hell. And my friend doesn't have many tats, so I don't think he quite knows the procedure, but didn't think it was something he was supposed to do as in a respect way, but I think he'll come around.
Garrick did you get my IM?

Geeze, the inside of my arm was the most excruciating pain if have endured yet.....

Posted: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 1:57 PM  

Well, my leg was my first and in my mind I was thinking it would hurt like a MOFO, but in the long run it was something annoying but not too bad...I think I would have been able to sleep if I wasn't too much excited to get some ink.

As all of you, ink is addicting!! I was sitting on the chair for the first one and I was thinking about what could be the next!!!

I didn't tip my tat guy since he owns the place with his g/f

fuck that. the FTW on the inside of my arm took about 6.5 hours. I don't see myself being able to sleep.

It sucked.

i reinterate the slowness of my tattoo guy.

also by tipping them you're more likely to get a "hook up" next time, because the tip goes to their pocket where as the cost might not, so they can knock down the cost, to get a lil bit more tip ya know?

You're right Jey, I got slid a little extra color the other day, plus he didn't charge me to draw it up either. I haven't quite got the balls up to go to the inside of my arm yet, the ones I got now go into there a little ways and it got pretty tender, but I'm workin on a half sleeve, so i'm goin to have to one day
