Do you/should you tip your barber or tattoo artist?

what does that mean exactly? if i don't tip, on the next trip he'll stray outside the lines?

his job isn't dependent on tips.  like i said earlier, he sets his own rates depending on the tat. i've gotten tats from 3 different artists in 3 different shops. none of the shops had a tat menu with prices. none of them had suggested tip charts.

yeah i gotta say i think the artists at the tat shop i go to would be extremely surprised to receive a tip.. mostly since they charge so much anyway.

my barber charges me $10 and I give him a $20. When he cuts my son's hair as well I give him $35 (total for both of us is like $17). He's my homeboy and i've know him for years. He looks out and does a great job.

the last tat I got ran me $300 on a disco. I gave homeboy $50. That tat would've cost me $450 with out a tip anywhere else.
