Tattoo studio reports Aussie client fled a 15,000 baht bill

At a Patong-area tattoo studio in Phuket, an Australian man is alleged to have skipped paying a 15,000-baht balance after receiving a tattoo service on November 18. The customer had deposited 10,000 baht ahead of a cover-up design priced at 25,000 baht. The artist shared the man’s photo online and urged other businesses to be alert to similar behaviour from foreign clients. Police were informed, and local commentary suggests the trend of unpaid services is a growing concern in tourist-friendly spots. The studio is considering legal options while monitoring for repeat incidents.
