Why TipMe

Why TipMe
for Tattoo Artists?

Tattoo sessions often cost hundreds of dollars — and clients genuinely want to tip their artist. TipMe makes that possible even when they've already spent everything on the piece itself.

Tattoo artists are skilled fine art professionals

A custom tattoo can take hours of preparation and execution. Tipping a tattoo artist is considered standard in the industry — TipMe makes it frictionless.

Studios often take a percentage of payments

Shop fees and commission splits mean artists don't always keep what clients pay. Tips through TipMe go directly to the artist — no studio cut.

The tip can arrive days after the session

Clients sometimes want to tip once the piece has healed and they've fallen in love with it. A personal tip link in your Instagram bio or aftercare sheet keeps that door open long after they leave the chair.

How much should you tip a tattoo artist?

15–20%

Tip your tattoo artist 15–20% of the total cost of the piece — about $30–40 on a $200 tattoo. Custom designs, multiple sessions, and detailed work often earn 20% or more from regular clients. Since many shops are cash-preferred, a QR-code tip is a convenient alternative.
