Over tipped
[QUOTE=Fnarplep;5015497]I'm still pretty new to the AMP scene. I'm usually on the BB and SW forums, but I've had a recent string of disappointments there so I'm trying my luck with AMPs again. Today was Moon Spa in the 12th & S Jackson area. It's a weird little spot, hard to find. Masks were mandatory and the lights were extremely dim. Walking in from the light of midday, it took my eyes quite a while to adjust; between the masks and the lights, I never really got a clear look at anyone's face. I also didn't get a very good assessment of my masseuse's body; she was definitely slim and wearing a very flattering dress, but she had an awful lot of tights and whatnot underneath. Between the mandatory masks and the complexity of her dress, it became clear that FS was not on the menu. I didn't even ask. I paid. 6 for the hour and the massage was thorough, although I'm not experienced enough to evaluate the quality. It was mostly pushing rather than rubbing. Perhaps that's a "technique. " She spent at least 30 minutes on my back, had me flip for the HJ, then cleaned me up and (much to my surprise) spent another 10 minutes massaging my legs. I'll admit, the aftercare was nice. I wasn't prepared for that. She toweled me off afterward, left the room while I dressed myself, and had a small bottle of water waiting for me as I exited the room and left $ for a tip.
For the more experienced hobbyists: do you think I over tipped? There was absolutely no discussion of tip amount or service type, I just guessed.[/QUOTE]Yeah, you over tipped by about. 6.

Shangrila in SODO
[QUOTE=Asianguy;5015175]I keep seeing their street sign near the Ladybug on 4th. Anyone have intel? Thanks!
Also any recommendations on AMPs with younger staff (under 30)?[/QUOTE]According to reviews on rubmaps, it's CFS / CBJ place staffed with women in their 30's.

Tip Nazis
[QUOTE=Fnarplep;5015497]She toweled me off afterward, left the room while I dressed myself, and had a small bottle of water waiting for me as I exited the room and left $ for a tip.
For the more experienced hobbyists: do you think I over tipped? There was absolutely no discussion of tip amount or service type, I just guessed.[/QUOTE]So yeah, you will get a few tip Nazis Here telling you to only tip "x" amount. There are, of course, standard tips and if you go by that- . 4 is the norm for an HE. I will tip. 6 if I get to explore UTC or they just pull their boobs out for me. But really, tip what you want. What you think they deserve. I was at at AMP the other day, she was decent Looking and a little chunky But holy crap, the massage was awesome. On the flip I got full access and a Slow working with PM. I tipped. 7, she was great.
It's tough times out there but I am pretty solvent so I am ok with being generous in tipping When they really work for it. Karma is good for me.

If someone gives you what you want and do it well, tip well. I've seen some girls / ladies who I have tipped well before offer up other things occasionally. It really depends.

[QUOTE=MartyByrde;5015525]If the gal just provides a HJ as the extra, then the typical tip is $40.[/QUOTE]

What you think they deserve.[/QUOTE]Thanks, everybody! I'll keep this in mind as I continue to gather experience in the AMP scene. I don't want to inflate the cost of this hobby for anyone, so I'll stick to normal tip ranges.

[QUOTE=Rumb28;5015614]It's tough times out there but I am pretty solvent so I am ok with being generous in tipping When they really work for it. Karma is good for me.[/QUOTE]That's my attitude exactly; I tend to drop $140 or so everywhere, and $200 if I believe far more might be on the table.
Life's too short to get wound up over $20 here and there. And yes, it could be said I'm "running up prices", but I don't hold to that theory, personally.

Keeping providers desperately in need to support themselves isn't the power dynamic I care for outside the bedroom. You see the other masseuses in their 50's & 60's on the other board lowering their already low rates while born & bred American women are raising them. They'd make more an hour flipping tonka toys on Facebook.

[QUOTE=BBpornogeek;5016421]I agree. If someone gives you what you want and do it well, tip well. I've seen some girls / ladies who I have tipped well before offer up other things occasionally. It really depends[/QUOTE]Not sure how an HJ can be done that could want one to tip more. As it is, a $40 tip for a $60 1 hour massage is near 70%. That's definitely a generous tip. Now if the gal permits you to rub her vagina and ass (no clothes on), then yeah, maybe give more than $40. But in my experience, most gals will just give a good HJ, without anything else. That's fine by me, and $40 is a very good tip.
I guess it's possible to give a larger tip for just an HJ (no matter how good it is), with the hope that the woman will provide additional services with subsequent visits.
