    I once got a tattoo from an artist who was cute and, in hindsight, clearly into me. Just the two of us in the shop, showing me photos of other designs while leaning very close, etc.

    I commended her artwork, paid for the ink and left. Still kick myself thinking about it, we are not the most intuitive creatures.

      And you didn’t because then you’d just be another customer hitting on someone who’s just trying to do her job. Just like I’d just be another asshole hitting on a woman who’s just trying to enjoy airplanes.

      Similar story for me

      I was in a hostel in Berlin and I’d had a fun time with this girl and a few others in a bar the night before. She had a nice tattoo on her arm and I complimented on it, she then took off most of her clothes and showed me her other tattoos but I didn’t think they were as nice though I politely said they were nice. I then went out to get breakfast leaving this poor girl in her underwear

        You didn’t miss out on anything.

        If that’s how unclearly she expresses sexual attraction just imagine trying to get consent out of her.

        Aw geez that smarts. Lesson learned, if you ask a woman about her ink and she offers to show you more…ask to see more. It’s been working pretty well for the gf and I, she’s got em all over.
