tipping tattoo artists

I remember this thread had already been done but I really don't feel like searching for it. How much of a tip is customary for a tattoo? The guy gave me an estimate of $100- 150 for the cost. Any help would be appreciated.

I would give $20

Thanks Honus.

Tipping is tipping, same rules apply for artists as for servers. If you're happy with what you got give more, if you're not happy let 'em know, but 15% to 20% is usually a great tip.
