f the tip, paying hundreds of dollars for anything = no tip
That's dick.

Basic etiquette dictates that tattoo artists are supposed to be tipped, as are anyone who cuts/washes/styles your hair. And every tattoo artists I have talked to, and I also have several friends in the profession, always complain about people never tipping.
This is what I want to get, but my mom's against the idea. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and I think having the Dark Mark would be awesome.
Oh wow that's a big step. Would you have it placed on the inside of your forearm like that? That can cause for lots of problems in the future when you're looking for jobs.
No, not necesarily, but that's how the job market itYeah, I'd get it on the inside of my forearm, just like the Death Eaters have it in the books and movies. And I don't get why people are so judgmental about tattoos when it comes to hiring. Would a person without a tattoo do any worse or better of a job than a person with a tattoo?
that's just being gready... you are paying for a service... that's what you get...
like the stupid tip jar at Starbucks... I paid for the coffee, why should i give extra?
Now dinner, you are paying for the food and atmosphere... the service in extra, that you tip depending on the qaulity....
If I pay 500 for a tattoo on my arm, I'm not paying him 100 for a tip... he gets that 500 for himself to begin with

Most professional businesses flat out do not allow visible tattoos. Same thing goes for multiple visible piercings, colorful hair, etc.
If you "hate wearing long sleeves" and plan on getting a professional job in the near future, I'd say hold off on getting your forearms tattooed.
Unfortunately most professions still look down upon visible tattoos and the odds of you finding one that doesn't have a problem with it are minimal.
As for tipping your tattoo artist... Drakon said it best. You don't HAVE to tip your tattoo artist, but it's the decent thing to do and will benefit both you and the artist in the long run. I havn't met a tattoo artist yet who didn't have to give 50% to the owner of the shop for every piece they did. Many have to pay for needles and ink on top of this. Getting a tattoo isn't like buying a comic book or even a painting. You are trusting a person, to not only create a work of art, but do so in a short amount of time, with minimal to no errors, on the first attempt, that will be permenantly on your body. If that doesn't deserve a tip I really don't know what does.
If you want a tattoo on your arm, just wear long sleeved shirts. It's a simple solution. I know it presents a problem for girls, but it's a sacrifice you should be willing to make.
I mean insofar as fashion, some days a girl might want to wear a dress or something to work and thus their tattoo would show.tats don't get you girls, dude.

Did you live in a goddamned bubble or something?
I mean, how do you not get things?
