Can this thread be a home for terrible studio stories?

I had a dude book for a tattoo at the start of the month with a £50 deposit.

One of my artists spent a good few hours drawing up this composition of roses and a pocket watch and then on the day, about 30 mins before he was due to come in he called the shop to ask if he needed to bring anything to which we said "Just your ID and maybe a sugary drink or some snacks", he replied "Oh I dont have ID, my grandmother was just gonna call when I got there to consent for me". It's commonly known law that you must be 18 to get a tattoo in the UK, you cannot use parental consent like you can with piercings, and even then consent must be signed in person, it can't be done over the phone.

We explained that isn't how it's gonna work at all and if he doesnt have ID then he shouldn't have booked the appointment, he started moaning about how 16 year olds can't even get ID (You can get a passport at 1 year old, provisional driving licenses from 15 years old, and Citizen ID cards whenever you like). Upon telling him that he isn't even old enough so now even if he finds some ID he wont be getting tattooed at all he started asking for his deposit back.

It's posted all over the shop that deposits are non-refundable for cases exactly like this, an artist has spent time drawing, we've now got an empty 6hr space on the day, and generally gently caress you for wasting our time.

It's been 3 weeks since he was 'booked in', just got a phone call from his grandmother yesterday screaming at me that I'm gonna refund her bratty kid's £50 or she is gonna go to the police, and trading standards, and the licensing authority and "as high as she possibly can". I told her she is more than welcome to pursue it in any way she sees fit but she'll only be told it's a civil matter, we broke no laws, we in fact abided by all the laws stipulated for tattooing as well as local by-laws with regards to licenseing. She got all boomerific, told me to shut the gently caress up when she's telling me what i'm gonna do for her grandson at which point I said I don't need to listen to her abuse and hung up.

I'm sure she will get a rude awakening from the police and council when she tries talking to them, and if she tries stepping foot in here she'll just be told to leave as she isn't a customer and would be trespassing, which is a criminal act.

If I tried booking a tattoo when I was 16 and lost £50 for my efforts my parents / grandparents would have just laughed at me and told me they hope I had learned my lesson in trying to break the law, why this kid's grandmother is trying to protect him and attack us is just baffling to me.

Someone just tried to get a back piece here without having eaten today, apparently with no sleep and a few months after severe burning and sunstroke.

They didn't tell anyone any of this until my boss wondered why she was crying :gonk:

While I’m sure that’s supposed to be the palm side, nothing except the lack of nails seem to suggest that. Goddamn, add a palm wrinkle or something.

Or maybe the nails are missing from the rapidly encroaching dry gangrene at the tips.

And L-sh-ngt-n holds hard, nor tries,
In vain to fetch a run.

What the gently caress are the stripes on that garbage tattoo supposed to be? They look like they're supposed to be made of marble (or pubes) but that's the dumbest loving thing.

When hanging the flag, the star field always goes in the top left, so I don't think it is?

However, tattooing a white supremacist symbol on you is definitely tasteless.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
