Get cash and no evidence of work to skip the IRS/CRA get hit elsewhere, that’s the risk you take.
Legit shops won’t get scammed since it’s cut and dry work was done.
all of the parlors I've been to are legitimate businesses registered within the state of Minnesota with the appropriate certifications to do body work, as required by the state. None of it was illegitimate. Tattoo parlors would rather not take the risk, and it's well known that part of tattoo culture is cash payments.
Cash jobs are jobs no one can prove happen, it’s only done to avoid IRS/CRA. Legit businesses need proof of work done, it also builds their portfolio and is advertising.
The only “culture” of cash payments is shady business since the only reason it’s done is to avoid proof that you made money.
Now the fact that lots of criminals also have tattoos has a lot to do about it as well… but no one wants to have that conversation either.
Cash only is never legitimate, sorry.
