Newbie thread / introduce yourself here

    It can be a bit intimidating coming here, it takes a lot of guts to introduce yourself and even more to come out on a night. I know I was bricking it, everyone is new at one stage or another.

    So if you're new to the forum, lash a post or 10 in here about yourself.

    We will welcome you with open arms. :D

    This is a serious thread, the more established people are encouraged to welcome new members. Ripping it out of me can be done elsewhere.

    Well, I thought I'd post the first reply, seeing that I have never formally introduced myself, and have never met any of you in person.

    So, My real name's Shane, I'm 19 and I'm studying medicine. Don't really know how I got into body mods, although I don't have an awful lot of them anyway.
    Love this forum anyway, and the people seem really cool. Learned alot from reading the stickies.

    Btw, I hope I'm not the only one to leave a comment Will, that would be entertaining :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Don't worry sd123, you won't be the only one. :)
    Once one person takes the plunge the rest will follow.

    If this goes well I'm gonna sticky it.

    Welcome! Stick around and learn crap :pac: ...as long as the site stays up that is...

    Gah! It's about time I did this!
    Hi, I'm Fiona. :: waves ::
    Very much a newbie in the posting sense, but have been lurking quite a while ;)

    I was always a bit of a 'rock chick' back in my school days, so piercings/ tattoos seemed a pretty natural progression to me!
    Had 9 piercings altogether in my time, but I only 2 left in.
    Got my first tattoo in January in Koh Tao, Thailand. Had been thinking about it for a good 10 years before I got it, and had been hunting through advise here before I finally took the plunge. (So thanks for all your advise on after care!)

    Here it is...a little small, but you get the jist (hope this is allowed, if not, let me know and I will remove it)

    Couldn't be more in love with it.
    I know the world and it's mother has stars these days, but I have wanted it since I was 16, and it holds a whole heap of meaning for me.
    Have my next one planned out, but have only just decided what and where, so am in the hang-it-on-my-wall-till-I'm-sure-stage :)

    So yeah, thats me!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Looks like I'm the only regular about at the minute >_>

    Emo, Raze, Kya & Fiii welcome! As with everyone else, don't be afraid to ask questions, we are a nice enough bunch. It's awesome that people enjoy the forum.

    Fii nice photo too.

    Hopefully you guys will be around for the next beers, they're usually good fun (and you don't have to drink, if anyone doesn't or can't)

    Pretty much what you'd call a regular but guess there's no harm introducing myself to anyone doesn't know me!

    I'm Damien/Damo/that little guy with the shaved head. I'm 28, from Donegal, living in Dublin since June 06. I've got two tattoos and one piercing, and want to get more tattoos, am just in the process of planning them :)

    I'm a friendly enough little bugger, and can be pretty silly just for the sake of it but I would tend to advise people to whatever is the more sensible sides of whatever their planning, as I absolutely love tattoos and just want to see everyone that gets some tattoo or piercing work done have something that they will absolutely love.

    Probably the stain on my trouser leg, was messing with white spirits and some got on my trouser leg... I think. Can't remember, that pic is 2years old and 8 days.

    Saw this and i thought why not. :)

    Well My name is Cian, if you havent guessed that by now.
    I'm 17, 18 in one month 6 days, AND COUNTING.
    I'm like 5foot 8 or 9 and my hair colour changes with my mood.
    (starting to sound like an online dating site D:)
    Just started 6th year, knowing that the leaving cert is right around the corner scares me sooooo much.

    I have, 4 piercings, my lip done twice, and i have my ears streached.
    As soon as my 18th birthday comes along, i'll be heading for the tattoo shops.
    I know exactly what i want as my first tattoo, and i was thinking today, going to go talk to my artist of choice to see if i could get some time with him to get my idea's onto paper to make sure he's the man for the job.

    As soon as you guys orginize a beers thats not on a school night i'll be along for sure.
