DENTON, Texas -- God might not be the only one passing judgment on a man who skipped out on paying $200 for a religious tattoo at a parlor.

Denton police are investigating a nonpayment complaint filed by a tattoo artist who inscribed "Only God can judge me" on a customer's arm. The Denton Record-Chronicle reported Thursday that the artist finished the work, which included a pair of praying hands, and presented the bill.

The customer Monday offered a credit card, which was declined, then he ran out of the store.
