Thank you!

You make a good point about styles. I'd never think about it on my own, but it's important as hell. I guess I had the idea that tattoo artists just do whatever the customer tells them to.

    Don't bring all your friends to watch

Do people really do that? Why would they want to turn it into a show (unless that's exactly the plan, and that I understand... somewhat)?

    Tip your artist well

What's that about? I thought I'm already paying him or her hefty for the work they do. I'm not familiar with tipping at all, for we don't have such a culture here - or I'm just an ignorant fellow. Should I tip as I pay?

    Don't be a dick.

Any specifics, outside of the general "treat people like you'd want to be treated yourself"?
