A tool designed to assist in determining the appropriate gratuity for tattoo services, the application factors in the cost of the artwork and calculates a percentage to be added as a tip. For instance, if a tattoo costs $500 and a 20% tip is desired, the utility will compute an additional $100, bringing the total cost to $600.
Gratuity is a customary practice acknowledging the artist’s skill, time, and the quality of the finished tattoo. Understanding appropriate tipping etiquette contributes to maintaining positive client-artist relationships and acknowledges the personalized nature of the service. This practice has evolved alongside the professionalization of the tattoo industry, with established percentages becoming commonplace.
