How Much Should You Tip A Tattoo Artist In The Uk?

9 Comments 08 February 2010

I’m confused! I tip my hairdresser, I tip waiters but should I tip my tattoo artist? Last time I had a tattoo done it cost me £200 and I had no cash in my purse to leave a tip as I paid on a card and when I left the shop I wondered if I should have tipped and how by much. I know in the US people tip all the time but what’s the craic here in the UK?

    u dont have to tip here , but i always give my artist an extra 10 or 20 quid depending on the size of tat, my artist is amazing so i dont mind tipping him

    I always tip my artists, at least £10 – £20 depending on the size on the tattoo, but that’s me and that’s the way I’ve always done it, my artist is amazing and I always like to show my appreciation for the good work he does. Plus the fact that he never charges my husband or me the price that he should charge so we always give him a tip,

    Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Hun, my last tat cost £350, he aint getting any more money out of me. I don’t care how big it is, they charge a price in relation to the worth of the tat. Don’t tip!
