Calculate tattoo tip amount, tip percentage, hourly session total, and split tips between artist and assistant based on cost for tattoo sessions.
Tattoo Tip Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Tattoo Tip.
- Where TT is the Tattoo Tip ($)
- TC is the total tattoo cost or session fee ($)
- TP is the tip percentage (in decimal form)
To calculate the Tattoo Tip, multiply the total cost by the tip percentage divided by 100 (or by its decimal form). Select the desired solve mode; hourly and artist/assistant split modes use the same chosen tip basis.
