My tattoo artist didnt show up to our appointment that we confirmed the day before.?

Question

I made an appointment for this weekend, told him to let me know what day and time he was available and he told me to meet him and Noon on Sunday. I showed up but he didn't, he owns his own shop and has done fifteen of my tattoos but this isn't the first time he's flaked. Should I just get a new artist? 
I really like his work but no phone call, no text and no facebook message saying oh **** I forgot or oh **** I'm sorry something came up? I mean if I'm running a bit late for an appointment I let him know, but I was ten minutes early, texted him at 11:55 then again at 12:10. I waited till 12:30 thinking maybe he was just running late or something....but he didn't show up and this is probably the seventh time he's either canceled an appointment or flaked.

Am I wrong to want to go to a new artist?

There are quite a few things I look for in a tattoo artist if they are going to become my regular artist. Obviously I look for exceptional artwork and tattoo techniques (straight lines, good shading, etc) but I also look for someone who is welcoming, will work with me, will make me feel comfortable, and has a high level of professionalism. If I am not comfortable with the person am I really supposed to trust them with putting something on my body for ever?

I would definitely have been bothered by this. I would have been so annoyed with it that after the second time I would not have returned.

No, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s wrong. You should be comfortable with your artist and they should be more professional than that
