When you place a tattoo table from business and hobbies pack in a residential or commercial lot, sometimes no tattoo artist shows up when you hire one. And then you can't re-do the interaction as the game thinks one is already on the lot, but it's not.
This has been tested without any mods installed:
I have tested with multiple families/sims/lots/saves.
This happens majority of the time and only occasionally I was able to get a tattoo artist to show.
I also tested on a brand new save - no tattoo artist. Then made another brand new save - yet this time tattoo artist showed up. Its clearly a bug that occurs a lot but not everytime.
