Tipping is such an American thing. Here in the UK it is never expected that you tip your tattooist, that shit is expensive enough already.

Tips ? I understand if you're a waiter, but as a tatooist, you make the price. If you want $600, ask $600.

I agree with a lot except the tap out/complain thing. I think a lot of people receiving tattoos are always too afraid to speak up when they are uncomfortable and then really bad things happen like they pass out or freak out and I think people need to have honest, open communication with their artist and understand it’s your body, you can say stop whenever!! I have an incredible artist and I have sat for mannnnny 7-8 hour sessions but my last one I was sitting with my legs up getting my bicep done and I was sitting on a huge nerve in my butt/leg and at one point, despite eating and being very hydrated I felt dizzy like I was going to pass out,. I knew I wasn’t tapping out but I told my artist I needed a break and to stand, immediately as I stood up the blood went rushing back to my leg so I must have just been sitting on something for too long without being able to stretch. My artist was obviously all good with it and we took 15 mins to stretch, bathroom etc. so I think people need to understand communicating what you need with your artist and knowing you can say, hey I feel nauseous, hey I feel like I might pass out… that’s not complaining… alwayssss tell your artist!!!

I do tip but I don’t think it should be necessary for someone who makes $100, $200, $300+ an hour. Tipping is for jobs where people usually have to rely on the tips to survive like waitstaff. You wouldn’t tip your therapist or your lawyer lol

Green soap is the best smelling thing ever

I understand tipping if the artist works at the studio, they're giving a piece to the owner of the shop. Fine. But if the artist OWNS the shop and told you a price, why am I supposed to give them more than they charged? Not being rude, I genuinely don't get it. Theres a lot of shop-owners on this channel, and I hear this a lot. Just tell the client what you want for the work, so nobody is insulted or confused.

Hmm ok Couple of things I’m thinking: Tipping is not generally a custom in the UK Complaining is ok is moderation Pushing yourself is ok too otherwise I would have never got anything done after 3 hours! Communicate with your artist, artist to be encouraging and supportive, allow breaks etc.

Tattoos hurt. I don't complain but I am expressive when I am feeling a lot of pain. I know it shows on my face and I tense up on the really painful parts (though I take care to not move the part getting tattooed) I don't think it's a big deal. Maybe my artists do but they don't say anything? My tattoos have all healed fine. I do have a rule now of maximum of 4 hours in chair because if I go for too long I end up having a really bad couple days after for recovery (I've got chronic illnesses and too much stress on my body is just not a good idea for me). But still, I love my tattoos and it's worth it for me to work through it.

I just got the lineart of a large coverup done and definitely agree with there’s a big difference between “complaining” and actually just communicating about your pain level. I had to tap out at about 4 hours and there was just no way I could keep going, it burned so bad every time he started doing some of the fill and it was definitely a different level of pain than the regular “tattoo discomfort”. I tipped my artist personally, definitely not the “20% standard” but I gave him some extra. He only charges for the actual sitting tattoo time but I know they spent quite a bit of time drawing/re-drawing things for the design. I’m sure the time for that is factored into the pricing but I appreciated his time and talent and just wanted to as a nice gesture.

Phenomenal info. She sends it straight and without the need for clarification. and also, Americans, stop doing the tip thing

I started my tattoo collection with a guy that doesn't care about these things and ending up with a woman that does. It left me with a huge appreciation for artists that genuinely care about the job, art and client

Why is is such a strange concept to price yourself at the rate you want to get paid?

I just love the mandala on shoulder. Very inspirational!

bro I think tipping is just an American thing lol, I haven't heard of any other country tipping their tattoo artists lmao

These artists seem so self centered. If you give me a shit tattoo....... I'm going to complain and I am the one paying so that gives me a voice.

I wish artist would just charge whatever they deem they deserve. The whole tipping business just puts people in a weird, uncomfortable spot where they feel like they have to.

We don't tip tattoo artists in New Zealand, it's included in the price of the tattoo, and how much the amount is, is decided by them.

So since glue guns don’t shoot, I’m gonna call mine a glue machine😆

I don’t get the whole tipping thing with tattoos. It’s around $250 an hour in my area. Why has it become normalized to tip every service known to man?

I love these do's and don't's of tattoos. And I agree you must shower before you get tattooed. I'm not a tattoo artist but I so agree with her.

I have an issue with the don't complain one, there are lots of reasons to communicate that you're in pain, even if you don't need to tap out. I'm autistic, and have adhd, for me talking about the pain always helps. I'm not going to stop doing what I need to, because my tattoo artist potentially can't be professional enough to handle their feelings, about my pain. Sometimes that complaining even comes in forms of jokes, because jokes are calming, and a big way many people cope with pain. So everything said about that, is fairly ignorant, and doesn't take the clients feelings into account at all. I can agree with excessive or constant complaining being wrong to do, but the rest is just wrong

Her bone structure is incredible. Stunning

I love following her on Instagram! She is such a positive vibe!

I can't wait to get more tattoos

“Don’t complain”. Broooo I was bitching the whole time I got my lower back tattooed.

My sleeve cost me like $5,200... how much should I tip? Realistically I'm not tipping after a massive job like that. I kind of did tip him... he proactively offered to knock like 800 dollars off the overall price and I told him no, I agreed to his price so I'd pay his price... so kinda like a 800 dollar tip.

I actually have a female friend who went to a tattoo shop and it was the artist who offered a discount in exchange for sex.

Imagine expecting a tip when you charge 100+ per hour, just include it in the cost if you need the money so bad you aren't a waitress

She seems like the sweetest artist tbh.

we are not tipping you more money

I love the snobby ass gun vs machine argument lmao if a client says gun you know im not saying shit to them, because what you call it matters absolutely nothing.

I could listen to her talk all day

Omg my guy corrected me when I called it a “tattoo gun” 😂

Reese did my dog tattoo. I love her!!

Tattoo artist expecting a tip ? Nah just charge more don’t ask more for more money after I paid.

I can only imagine what's fixing to happen to them DMs 😂😂

I think tapping out should be like a last resort, having a break and a drink of juice or some chocolate really does help get you through the painful parts if a bigger piece I have a nerve pain condition which factors in when I get a tattoo, that's why all of them until now are smaller Got a big one booked for my 30th bday tho

I will say that I do complain about the pain and I’m very bad for that, but usually I’m just focused on breathing and there’s always one spot that I have to like grip my shirt or something (if it’s not in their way at all) and I’ve had to do a couple of my bigger ones in two sessions. My guy is great though! He’s usually super quick and he’s really good about me tapping the couple times I have 🥰

Australia doesn’t have a tipping culture! it’s not a “broke” thing, it’s just not in our culture

Man the feet thing...really Got me yesterday. Wash ya body people. 💀

I miss the buzz of the old tattoo machines these new Rotary machines are good.it’s just something missing nowadays.from the old machines for me personally

Honest question, but what is the point behind tipping your tattoo artist? As far as I know, which isn't too much to begin with, the amount of money you usually pay for a tattoo is already expensive as is, so what the point of the tip? is it supposed to be like an unofficial kind of part of the bill overall, or is it more of a courtesy like most standardized tipping? Might seem like a troll comment, but I am just genuinely curious.

Only ever tapped when I got my back done but I made it 7 hours before the wiping is the worst part in my mind it's what gets me Everytime

Wow! The way she talks is so me.. except I'm not a tattoo artist 😇

I don't understand this tipping culture. Just make the tip part of the price of the tattoo if you're looking to get extra money. When I do a good at my job I don't expect a tip, why is it different for tattoo artists, or waiters/waitresses or uber drivers?

I have like 4 tattoos and always wanted a neck piece but I'm still iffy about it

No matter how much I hydrate and eat, my left leg always twitches 😭

Who is this magical woman..

Shoutout to Solana Beach, CA 🙌🏼

I kept saying the pain was chillin for the outline but towards the end of the shading my skin was raw asf🤣 Every swipe of the paper towel felt like hell on my forearm haha. I got a cool grim reaper on my inner forearm

@5:28 can some elaborate? is any sign of pain gonna = a tap out. Do i have to be a psycho path. Cause goin from line work to really deep color is a transition form e, last tattoo i was actually a little tipsy so that prob magnified the pain. However, by the middle of the first eye of my tattoo, that inital ouu this is a climb in actual like pain nerve reactions per minute. But It will cease and Its just for that first oh woah okay the drops bouta come. its like rollercoasters are fun, but some have uncomfortable carts so they hurt during certain parts. But like, would it have to be a continous level of oh fuck oh sheesh, or is some human reaction to tattooing allowed.

I would like if you maked a video focusing on pigment blue 15 and pigment green 7 which is going to be illegal to use in Europe as it is going to affect the industry all over the world and not just Europe if it becomes illegal 😥 it is almost 70% of the colors we are going to lose.

I’m getting a sleeve in a few months that I have been paying monthly for a year. Is it rude if I don’t tip for the 8000 tattoo since I’m traveling twice to get this piece done?

Shes so adorable

I have the feeling that tatto artist dont like when costumers ask how much the tatto is gonaa cost them? Is this true or naa?

Girl I got my mf palm done, I’m complaining on that.

She is fire!

I am not american, but I always tip waiters/delivery people bc their salary is shit considering how overworked they are and I wanna help them out. But these tattoo artists? Nah. If you have a 3-6 months waiting list and are charging +200-300 bucks an hour you don't get to charge people more. Some of the artists featured here get thousands of dollars per tattoo and they want an extra 500?? Nope. Maybe I'd tip smaller artists from small shops because they actually need the money, but these people make no sense

Missed opportunity to have a photo of Burnt Chrysler when she said machine.

I'm getting my first tattoo in the uk soon, do I tip or nah?

Damn I’ve messed around with my artist about it hurting but now I feel bad 😔

I don't understand the hate on people from the UK saying we don't tip. She's obviously American and that's culture there and that's cool but other people are allowed to add to the conversation surely?

The real name of the tatoo machine is "dermograph" Derm from latin - skin Graph - write

I get no complaining but like we aren't supposed to communicate what's going on?

Love her skin tone

God damn that Reese woman is beautiful

I actually can not believe ppl go get a tattoo without showering beforehand, like....WHAT? HOW? WHY? Another quick tip I learned the hard way, DO NOT APPLY SELF TANNING LOTION OR FOAM (even the daily self tanning lotion) THE DAY BEFORE OR DAY OF A TATTOO Idk how, but me and my artist really think the tanning lotion fucked with the color of my ink in some places and I had to get it retouched a few weeks later bc the light colors looked dirty.

I am not tipping an artist unless it's flash or is some deal thing. I pay 150-200 an hour, no bitching or quibbling, with 6 hr min. and what you charge is what you get. Sorry not sorry. How do expect to get a tip on a hundreds of dollars tattoo, what would that even be? If it was $700, 10% would be $70, that's a hell of a tip.

हा वीडीयो आवडला 👌👌👌♥️♥️♥️💘💘💘♥️♥️♥️👌👌💋🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

5:42 "Dont push your clients" Tell that to Project Blackout :D

I like her

who tf wears shoes without socks

Tipping is for places that don't charge enough. Price the product or service and be done with it.

I'd be like, man. I use this job to pay my rent. If you want me to call my landlord and see if he'd be down for you to F him instead of me having to pay rent next month, I'll call him?

she looks like Elizabeth Olson to me, who is my celebrity crush :)

I like the idea of blasting over one or two bad tattoos when older. I'm 27 rn, but I mean older than that.

She’s somthing eh 😍😍

I remember her from black ink and gurrrrrrrl🤣

हा वीडीयो आवडला 👌👌❤💘❤👌👌💋💋💋🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Can you please do a Tattoo Artist's React to Blindspot (new Netflix show)

Strippers should be the only ones receiving tips if you really think about it!

Okay is the tipping the same as waitresses? Like the percentage? I keep seeing this and none of the artists give an example of getting tipped.

What about boots without socks or socks with flipflops? Both equally horrific.

Ain’t that the same Reese that lied and say that Junior hit her

My god isn't she the fucking queen, she holds the truth

I'm from California born and raised and you better believe I fckng' wear socks

Janice Griffith in 3 years

I’m sorry but if a tattoo artist tells me “no” in response to a tattoo that I want and I’M paying for, I’m going somewhere else wtf 😂 I’m an adult ma’am.

It’s a machine, like a machine gun.

Oohhh the comments section whenever tipping is mentioned. It’s an American-centric video. It just is, and that’s fine. They have a tipping culture that’s unique to them. Not everybody and their mum has to comment that it’s stupid. 🤣

I heard Grime call his a "Tatt Gat" XoD

I'm not tipping someone who sets their own prices.

Please stop giving ppl like Reese camera time !! This woman lied about being hit by a man then wouldn’t even admit she was wrong with footage in her face as a survivor I have no respect for woman like her

Why does the statement "tip your artist" start such a debate in the comments? If your country doesn't tip, then don't????

😂💛

Why tip your artist? You are already paying for the work

I really wish we didn't have to tip in the US. Companies should be forced to pay their own employees!

Like !!!!!

I don’t get the whole don’t touch your face or throat or hands unless you have your arms covered. I’ll get what I want. Tattoo community is so judgmental

Reese is the cutest of the artists in this series :)) just sayin !
