I'm sure the answer is as plain as day but anyway. I am a career tattooer. Well known with a good reputation. At work I have always been "strictly business", but after ending a long relationship, I find myself wanting to get to know many of my attractive clients on a more personal level but I'm having a I hard time deciding where to start. I have an endless supply of hot chicks coming through my shop daily. Trying to stay professional but my situation is too good to pass up. Any advice?

You are in the best position for approaching them: position of authority, checked... giving them pain, checked... being an artist, checked and as a bonus, you get to see at least some of them partially naked... what else could you wish for??? Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen? Flirt with them, tell them about the crazy and cool events you are going to (parties, concerts, tattoo conventions, whatever) and wherever you see interest, tell them they are welcomed to join. Stop worrying about appearing professional, who cares about that? Live the wild life and good luck!

No, leave your business life out of the dating world. Do you really want to lose loyal clients?

I would say a combination of both of the last 2 answers, maybe try for a few of the girls, but definitely do not attempt that with every girl you find attractive, you don;t want to go from a successful business owner to that tatoo guy who hits on every girl that comes through the door. Like redlight says, throw something out there and if a girl seems to be into it, invite them to join or something.
