And the awkward goodbye afterwards , perfectly fine the entire 3-6 hours you were there conversation but that last 3 minute exchange it’s like you’ve never met in your life

My artist has never refused my payment 😂 nor a tip and I tip every time! This man did a $750 tattoo for me and I tipped him like $250 and he just laughed and took it bc I think he knew better than to fight me on it 🤣

My tattoo artist and I have an uspoken deal. I pick up my wallet, he mumbles the price, he leaves the room, I put the money and tip on the desk, I follow him in the other room, and then we talk another half an hour about music while the money are just on the table in the back 🥰

Whyyyyy is it so awkward?! When I got my half sleeve he said “650 😐”, I gave him $800 and said “is that enough? Should I give you more? I feel like you should get more. Is this fine?” He said “please no. It’s plenty im sorry.” 😂😂😂 It should NOT be like this on both ends!

My grandma just got a tattoo the other day and when she tipped the guy $20 he was very surprised like he doesn’t get tips often and was very grateful.

I generally pay in cash, tip ~30% and bring my artist a couple cases of beer (my husband is head of a brewery). He always freaks out and insists it’s too much and he doesn’t want to overcharge me. I’m simultaneously his favorite and his worst nightmare. 🤣

I told my artist I was going to Venmo him a tip because he didnt let me add a tip onto the payment. I said what are you gonna do send it back and he said yes. So I gave him all the cash I had before I left and ran.

One time my card declined. Goddammit the panic I experienced in that moment. I left my whole ass purse at the shop and made a quick phone call and it was fine but yeah. Freaky.

when i got my chest done my blood sugar dropped low multiple times during the three hours he was tattooing (we had to stop early bc of it) and i absolutely loved how it looked and i felt bad bc we had to keep stopping and i tipped him 100% and he looked at the receipt and asked if i knew i tipped that much and i said yes (i was also loopy bc of how low i was) and he asked like 3 separate times if i knew i did that and if i meant to😭

I saw one artist say, it’s so weird bc they genuinely love doing it so much and if they could afford to not charge, they wouldn’t. And another said, you spend the appt vibing, chit chatting and becoming friends and then it’s like, give me money lol

Why is it always so awkward?! Spent 7 hours on the table with this gal a few weeks ago and she NEVER asked me for money. I ultimately just put the envelope on the table before I left.
