Just wondering what people's thoughts are on this.

I had one done yesterday and when I was paying, I noticed a tip option on the machine. The business also does piercing, hair styling, make-up, and I think a few other things. I wasn't sure if tipping a tattoo artist was expected or not, or if that option was there for the hair styling and other things.

Since it was a 9 hour session and she did work late, and I will be getting another session in a few months, I gave her a nice tip (both because she did a great job, but also because I want to the same dedication for the next session).

For people more familiar with the industry, what do you think? Is it customary or expected?
