Am I supposed to tip my home inspector?

My FH and I made an offer on a house and we're getting it inspected tomorrow. Does anyone know if it is customary to tip the inspector and if so, how much?
We feel so clueless about this whole home buying process!

I wouldn't do it because it may seem like a bribe.

LOL, thanks for your advice ladies! Unfortunately I forgot to tell FH before we went to the inspection today, and he tipped the guy anyway because he thought he was supposed to!!!
