I very rarely get tips and dont expect it either, but your comment is really quite ignorant and arrogant. Do you think tattooist just cream the money? And dont really have to work hard? What about overheads and sterilization, inks ….blah blah blah….the list goes on. YOu pay for quality its your perogative if you tip or not.
I second this, you have no idea how much work is involved in tattooing…especially the work you don’t see. l spend on average an extra 15 hours a week drawing designs which I don’t get paid for. Also the strain this job causes on your body can rival construction easily..I know since I did it for years as well. You obviously know very little about tattooing. Tipping is how I make a decent wage after the business costs and the price is reasonable considering the time it takes to become a skilled artist. I’m sure you throw away thousands of dollars on other bullshit throughout your life that won’t last like a tattoo does. Also if you “don’t tip because you’re English” you can stay the fuck out of my shop.
This kind of a cover-up can really be done by any artist. Solid black is very easy to add/extend from and it should be pretty much a no brainer if you were not overly scarred from the existing work. Just remember if the tattoo is raised currently when you hit it up again to enlarge the artwork it will show through. Hope that helped.
