Tattoo

For those who don't have any yet, just to give you an idea how addicting they are, I got my first one a few months ago, second one last week, hopefully getting another this weekend, and we're already putting together ideas for full sleeves.

^^^ werd, I'm on my 3rd one now, just got it the other day, got plenty more in the works, and still trying to finish one. T all my guys that have'em, me and a friend of mine got into an arguement on whether or not to tip the artist, I myself have a certain guy I go to and only him, I usually tip about 20 on top of what he charges, my buddy says he doesn't tip at all, what do you do?

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.

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

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?

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
