No shows should die

So had today totally booked up for one person, who decided not to show, and of course, as difficult as modern technology is to handle, dialing numbers and such, decided not to tell me either. so a couple of hours of design work, 4/5 hours put aside to work on them, and nothing to show for it but a pathetic deposit. I'm gonna start taking deposits according to size of piece now and time scale estimated. There is no excuse for customers to be so rude and irresponsible, but at the same time there is no reason why someone who actually plans on getting a tattoo will have a problem with parting with some money in advance to guarantee them an alocated spot.
anyways, heres a tattoo i did yesterday on a customer who actually wanted a nice piece of work, and wasnt a complete cretin.
enjoy
