I generously tip my artist because his work will be with me for a while. The first session I tipped over 50% the cost of the work. On my next visit, I tipped just under 50% but included a couple small gifts on the front end.
I dont mind when my artist needs a smoke break or to have a quick break for lunch. He doesn't mind when I say I need to stretch. At my age I am only good for about 4 or 5 hours and then I am exhausted.
Quality is always worth the price and the wait. Showing a little gratitude and respect will have most artist doing some really extraordinary work.
 
The waitress that served me a nice meal is nowhere near the same level as the guy whose ink I wear with pride for the next 20 years. 
 
Just one old guy's perspective...

Ok I sat in the chair for a little over 5 hours today. Off to a great start. Will go back in about three weeks for color. My artist was excited when I presented him the Cuban cigar. The afternoon passed quickly with lots of great conversation. Little did my artist know the old guy had attended Tool concerts...

Going to have a 20 year tattoo covered and reworked into a new dragon this weekend. I am stoked!
 
Since it's going to take several hours I got my artist several Monster drinks, a new Yeti cup and a Cuban cigar that just came in this week. 
I am 56 and enjoying getting new ink. Getting my first tattoo reworked is something I have thought about for years.
A long time ago, a small group of new, young, and energetic FedEx managers took a ride to the Jade Dragon tattoo parlor in Chicago. Most of us walked out with new ink. 
20 years later my first dragon is a little tired and faded. Old man is slowing down a whisker too....
Found a very talented young man, named Taylor at Evol Ink in Birmingham, AL. Very impressed by his work and attention to detail. Shop is first class. Great staff!
Will be posting before and after pics this weekend.
