Are you supposed to tip when you get a piercing?

Question

like when you get a navel, tongue, etc. piercing

Answer 1

Tipping is always appreciated. If the piercer prefers not to take it they can always politely decline.

Tipping also depends on how regular of a customer you are. If this is your first visit to a place and you really enjoyed the service then tipping is appropriate.

If you have gotten several piercings or tattoos at a place, you usually do not need to tip. Piercers tend to turn down tips from people they see often. If you like you can always bring in some other token of appreciation like snacks.

Answer 2

If you are pleased with the service you received you should at least try to tip about 20%. Some piercers don't accept tips, others do, it never hurts to offer.

Answer 3

Depends on the place, I have my belly button done twice, and both times, the guy wouldn't take any extra money, but I got my eye brow done at different place, and I thought they deserved a tip, and they accepted it..so it all depends on the place.

Answer 4

heck no, they charge way over the top for the time it takes and for what they do, my daughter paid £20 for a naval piercing and it took 5 minutes, I would be glad to get £240 per hour............might not have been so bad if she didn't have to take it out due to an infection..............
You tip for a service you are happy with, you cannot know if the service was good till months later, I say don't do it!

Answer 5

you don't HAVE to tip, because you've already paid for the piercing itself. BUT it is greatly appreciated when you do tip since they're providing you a service.

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7
