Hi to all!

I would like to introduce myself, I'm Van from Philippines, and the reason why I am joining this forum its because I am enjoying reading others thoughts and opinions and I would like also to share my thoughts. Since, this is my first post, I would be glad if someone would guide me or give some advice in posting.

Thanks.

Hey there!

My name is Sara, I'm new here, both to the forum and to Ireland. Or well, six months in Cork now. I'm originally from Sweden where I had a pretty good idea of where to turn when I wanted some new bodymodifications done, but here I sure could use some pointers. Always nice to have contact with others sharing your passion too I suppose.
Looking forward to explore this forum and see what it's all about.

CyberJuice · 14-10-2011 3:41am

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.

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

I'm Aine. I'm a piercer (hence my honest screen name). I have been on here before but keep locking myself out of my profile

PeefsPixie · 05-11-2011 11:30am

Hey all, Im Aoife from Cork. Only 2 tattoos unfortunately due to lack of funds but I have at least 5 more planned, haha. Im only 20 sure so I have a good few years yet to liven myself up

Hey I'm peter, I've got a lip piercing and I'm in the process of having my ears stretched. I also have two tattoos.

annafalcon · 12-11-2011 1:52pm

Hello everyone, i have just joined today, it is great forum with many interseting topics.

nowayjosie · 14-11-2011 1:13am

Hi everyone,
I need a bit of advice I had my upper ear pierced about 7 weeks ago and find its hard to sleep on that side as the stud hurts. when is it safe to leave the stud out at night without the piercing closing - i've been told it will close if i take it out overnight.

Star Lord · 14-11-2011 12:27pm

It can take up to 6 months for some cartilage piercings to heal fully. Simply try not to sleep on that side of your head!

thanks DamoElDiablo i love the piercing but the pain is bad! I'll try to stick it for another while - its not infected or anything its just very sore and a bit red every morning - id also just like to change the stud - do you think i should hold out on that too? thanks for advice.

Star Lord · 14-11-2011 12:48pm

If there's a stud in it, I'm assuming you got it pierced using a gun, in which case as this can damage and shatter the cartilage, it's liable to be sorer than if you got it done with a needle. I'd not recommend changing the stud until it's healed, but you shouldn't really have a stud in that anyway! If you're worried about it, drop into a proper piercer, they can take a look at it for you, and possibly replace it with a bar/ring.

i had the piercing done in a jewellers and she used a gun!! I'll take your advice and look around for a piercer to check it out.

Hey I'm Aisling, 22 from Clare but spend a lot of spare time in Limerick. I have a few piercings and two tattoos but am planning on getting more as soon as I can!

Hi, I'm Mick from Cork but now in the UK. I have a New York Yankees baseball club tattoo to show my allegiance to the team and to Yankee baseball.
I'll stick a pic up here when I get the chance.

Please Kill Me · 19-11-2011 1:44am

Hey, I joined ages ago but only started posting recently. I don't have loads of tatts and piercings, but i have a few of each. I'm big into bikes and metal.

gipi · 20-11-2011 8:28pm

Hi all,

long-time boardsie, but first time lurking around the Tats & Piercings section!

Thinking about getting my first tattoo, so ventured in here for a look and for some guidance and inspiration! Veering towards an animal portrait (as in a portrait of one of my beloved cats from a photo) , any suggestions for artists doing this kind of work? Dublin/East Leinster area?

Ta!

Byakuya · 21-11-2011 12:39pm

I'm old enough to know better

, but then I caught the tattoo bug late in life. I now have 7, and am planning the next one. I found a tattooist that I trust to turn the images I bring him into great tattoos. I'm big into games and animes, so the last 3 were related to those interests. I also have 8 piercings. Most of my kids hate them, but life is too short not to take any chances. I love my inks

Hi Ger (isn't it?) Stigmata Tau in Swords are pretty good. The place isn't the same since poor Mick died a couple of years ago, but the staff are good.

gipi · 21-11-2011 11:22pm

Thanks P-K-Me - I have heard good reports about Stigmata Tau all right, might call in for a look-see!

Hey all,

I only recently got interested in piercings and tatts, but i gotta say Im in love!
I have 5 piercings and one tattoo, with another one on the way, as soon as i can afford it!
I was wondering if anyone can maybe suggest anywhere good in Dublin for a fairly large piece with a lot of detail and shading?
Thanks everyone!

Sam_b · 22-12-2011 8:02am

Daisies · 27-12-2011 7:28pm

Never posted in here before. Thinking of getting my first tattoo. I want to get "I took the road less travelled by..." on my instep. I'll be based in Galway but will probably be in Dublin over the next few weeks too. Any recommendations?

Hey. All you have to do is go into google or bing, clik images and type in steampunk tattoos ... there are thousnads of pics and ideas in there ... saw some really cool pinups actually, or another one that had valves and pistons over the arms instead of muscles and sinew

BigDuffman · 06-01-2012 3:27pm

Afternoon all! Got my first tattoo between the shoulder blades on tuesday! I am rubbing bepanthen off my fingers as I speak.

I can safely say that I have been bitten by the ink bug. MOAR TATS!

Paco Rodriguez · 08-01-2012 5:34pm

Hey guys
Im a 27 year old guy. I havent got a tattoo yet but am planning on getting one this year. Im not going to get anything done until April at least just so Im sure about it.

Thing is im not starting small. Im considering getting a full sleeve one. I would like a St michael one on my right and a bio-mech on my left.

Do i need to book a consultation or just drop into a studio anytime for a chat about it?

Also Im a beginner weight lifter. Will there be a noticeable difference resulting from stretching?

Thanks

sidders · 12-01-2012 11:56am

I'm 35.

I've got 3 tattoo's. Want more but apprehensive about Irish tattoo artists. Mine were done in NZ.

Any questions? Please ask!
