Is my tattoo artist hitting on me?

[KatyKat]

I have been to this same guy three times. He is cute, but I love his style and he does excellent work. Every time I go he ends up talking more and more. His coworker says that he never talks to any of his clients but he talks to me. This last time I went, it had been 5 months since my last visit, he recognized me immediately and starting joking around with me.. He even knew me by name. ( This is a very busy shop). He told me that I have natural beauty and uses a lot of innuendos. this time he was joking about paddling me, I laughed and he started smiling A LOT. I feel really comfortable with him and do find him attractive. Is he flirting or am I just imagining it? It's hard to find good artist in KY and I don't want to screw this up.

He wants you.

He is just being nice.

He knows that I am married; I don't want to make things awkward. Should I find someone else or keep going to him. I feel like he's just playing, I've always been one of the guys plus I hear that tattoo artist are big flirts with their customers.

Literally everyone you know is hitting on you. Bask in it, you are god.

On a more serious note, if he remembered your name immediately he probably likes you.

I'd say pursue it and see where it goes. He maybe THE ONE, you never know.

Haha you already know the answer. Don't over-think it. Don't second guess yourself. The net is open. Go for the goal :D

Oh you're married? That changes everything. Yeah, stop. Don't take that risk whether he likes you or not. It sounds like he does. Keep it up and he might fall for you, (since you already find him nice and attractive) you might even fall for him... that's just my opinion. But again don't take that risk. If he's just playing do you want to be part of the game?
