Lol, find me a tattoo artist that takes credit card and they can have my skin, twice.
All 3 of mine have taken a credit card without batting an eye.
I find it hard to believe anyone at a proper studio is going to balk at taking card payment. They're a business.
Cash only tattoo is a giant red flag you're dealing with a fly-by-night scratcher. Run.
Why wouldn’t they take credit card?
The artist I just got a tattoo from was fine with taking a credit card. I thought it was weird too, but they are out there
What's weird about it? Most businesses take credit cards.
From my experience they prefer payment that isn’t easily disputed / claimed as fraud. Don’t get me wrong I was more than happy to get the points, it’s just unusual, since they do typically prefer cash / cash adjacent
They prefer cash to avoid the IRS, it’s so THEY can do the fraud.
Legit businesses don’t need to worry about being scammed since any chargebacks get investigated. A receipt, a picture of the tattoo and a signed waiver, zero chance of the fraud working out in the scammers favour.
I'm betting that a tattoo artist isn't going to be as civil or forgiving as a graphic designer about getting stiffed.
