To tip the calligrapher?

I am picking up our envelopes tonight and was wondering if this is customary, expected, or not the norm.  We didn't pay for any expedited service, and I haven't been able to see them yet and will pay for them upon picking them up (leaving me little time to evaluate tip amount, if necessary).  Thoughts?

    I don't think it's necessary to tip this person. They are performing a simple (I realize simple is a relative term here since calligraphy is probably not a "simple" task or we could all do it, but you know what I mean) service for you. I don't think they are doing anything above and beyond the service they are being paid to do. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    I agree with PP.  They charge a lot of money for their services. I'm not saying they aren't worth it, but I don't think you need to tip them.
