i'm not jewish @ all, but going to a tattooist who isnt getting paid properly will likely end up with you getting that mess in that fail picture

What does that have to do with tipping a tattooist?If they do a good job I like to tip.They appreciate it and it goes towards developing a relationship with the artist especially if you plan on getting more

and if they don't do a good job, what do you do, not tip?

the last tattoo I got cost me $600, with the artist getting like 500 of that money from memory. i'd rather that than the artist getting paid some $10/hour wage and getting a $50 tip or whatever, not giving a fuck if he loses his job or not

where as you're tipping i'd guess because they aren't making a good wage and want to give them a bit extra, i've only been to tattooists who are already getting the majority of the money i'm paying, which is like a wage+tip+tip+tip combined i guess

also, i'm in .au, not the us/eu. we don't really tip here since the minimum wage here is like $15/hour or something from memory

it's rude to not tip; the tip should be substantial too.

if you get a multi-hundred dollar tattoo, it's not unusual for the artist to get like a hundred dollar tip.

jaydc is right, it's very much about establishing a good relationship with your tattoo artist...
