No-Shows

I never used to care if my cosmetic tattoo clients didn't show up - I always had so much else to do. Lately though, it is starting to bother me from the perspective that these people are just simply either stupid as hell because they cannot write down and remember an appointment, or they are just plain rude!

I have a full schedule, generally at least six weeks out because I do not book all day and all night, so someone else would have gladly filled that time slot! This is not just new clients...more so, the ones who are no-shows are my clients who haven't seen me for a year or two and are needing a touch up. Then they call days later and are pissed off they have to wait another six weeks or so for another appointment! I am going to have to keep some notes on these chronic time abusers...next time they show up - NO anesthetic.
