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.

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.

hi everyone,newbie here and looking forward to getting to know pple and having the craic.....26 and always up for a chat:p

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

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

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.

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?

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.
