my tattooist is the nicest most genuine guy but i feel like he wouldnt ask me out as hes soo fucking professional. we email to get ideas for what i want he's currently trying to "inspire" me so i get out of my bettie page funk and he put kisses on the last of his emails.

i hate to read into things but my friends seem to think it could be more than a signature. not too sure.

im going in on thur with my friend jess were getting her a tatt for her 24th she reckons i should subtley let him knw i like him (shes said i dont give anything away too much-which is funny cos i always feel like a blithering idiot around him) but my friend dan reckons i should lay it on thick haha. both of which i find hard. i usually have to put in straight out there (ie directly ask out) which usually comes with dire consequences (i have a girlfriend, go away your a freak etc etc)

he jokes and sort of flirts whenever its just me and him but i dunno.

i havent had a school girl crush like this in years and i havent dated in ages, not since my last relationship that died in the arse about 4mths ago. safe to say im feeling very tense haha.

comments much appreciated.

oh, i have been there. hahaa. he seemed to helpful at first, and then i realised he was just wasting my goddamn time. i don't even know why. i mean he might have been interested, but he had a girlfriend, so what was the point?

anyway what can you really do except just say "i think we should go out for drinks one night"? i suppose you could make it group outing if you didn't want it to be too obvious that you're interested in him.

you live in sydney? which tattoo place are you going to? i've been to like, 3 of them and i have the shits with all of them. next time i'm going to inner vision in surry hills, apparently they're really great.

steel lotus on crown street his names dean. so cute and nice hahaha. not at all what i expected from a tattooist. my bettie is on the site

theyre great though. very professional and clean. he's not leading me on at all we dont have anything to do with each other except when it comes to my tatts. i just hope he finds me cute enough to want to see me outside work. if hes not otherwise involved. shit i hope he isnt

crushing so hard right now

hm I dated a tattoist and wanted to date another one (still want to)

i think if id met him anywhere id still want him. i think the job thing is an added bonus. id love to be doing something for a living that i was so into
