    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

        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.
