Newbie thread / introduce yourself here

Will · 02-09-2008 1:38pm #1

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.

sd123 · 02-09-2008 3:18pm

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

Will · 02-09-2008 3:43pm

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...

RxQueen · 02-09-2008 4:10pm

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2008 4:26pm

Let's see...I'm Ray, I'm 19, Waiting to start a fitness instructors course if i get accepted...I'm on this most the days since i do nothing but train at the moment.
Had to take out all my piercings:( I've got 3 and 3/4 tattoo's at the minute

Kya1976 · 02-09-2008 4:47pm

Haven't met any of you yet either. I'm Annika from Sweden or Helga if you rather, I'm old compared to most of you here I'm 32:P I teach Swedish and work with animals(dog trainer). Love tattoos:D

Fiii · 02-09-2008 4:48pm

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!

Will · 02-09-2008 4:55pm

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)

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2008 4:56pm

a non dublin based beers????

Will · 02-09-2008 4:58pm

Not sure, probably doubtful but feel free to get your own going in your area

Kya1976 · 02-09-2008 5:01pm

Thanks Will;)
Might as well put in a pic of me as well so this is me(half my chest piece done in this pic) with my terrified looking dog Phoenix! Looks like I'm gonna eat him:D

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2008 5:01pm

ah it was worth a try, if i have a week or two notice i should be able to come to the next one...I'll just crash with whatever random friend is in college up in dublin.

I wont put up a pic since i put one up on this thread and in another already today..thats to much ray for anybody's eyes

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2008 5:10pm

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2008 8:23pm

*resists all temptation to make a smart ass comment*

Star Lord · 02-09-2008 9:09pm

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.

CianRyan · 02-09-2008 9:26pm

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

)
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.
I vote a dress up halloween beers.

But no dressing up as the cone heads!

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2008 9:29pm

:pac:Likes: Piercings and tattoos, chocolate, puppies, boards.ie.
:mad:Dislikes: When the internet doesn't work, the restricted internet access in work, elderly angry bank customers.

WLTM male 22-30, NS, GSOH, enjoys pina coladas and covering puppies in chocolate, for friendship and maybe more....

Will · 02-09-2008 10:20pm

why would anyone wanna cover puppies in chocolate? it's bad for em

Toots · 02-09-2008 10:21pm

LOL!! Puppies and chocolate are two of my favourite things! I thought that combined they'd be superfantastic!!! Unfortunately I was wrong, which is why my puppy is going to have a bath now

And I've got to stop her from trying to lick herself!!!

Raze_them_all · 02-09-2008 10:29pm

oeb · 03-09-2008 8:20am

I'm Ian, I'm 27 and I make websites for a living. Used to have a bunch of piercings, but they are all gone (I worked as a doorman for a while a few years back. Piercings are a bit dangerous to have on the door.) But I am still picking up tattoos when I have the cash spare.

I have one kid (A boy, Ryan) and I'm taller than you (6'5"/2m).

Really liked it the next day so a few tweaks and i went for it:p

Josie_dub · 03-09-2008 12:34pm

My names Joanne, posted only once in body mod. I'm a lurker in show you mine always looking for inspiration. Have only one tattoo myself, got when I was 15 (19 now) thank god its a nice celtic symbol I still love, the frame of mind I was in back then it could have been very bad. Did have my eyebrow pierced but had to take it out because of a job let it close and still have a lovely little scar 3 years on.
Really want another tattoo now, I was thinking Hope in chinese symbol because I think without hope I wouldn't have much in life but I'd love something other than chinese writing something a bit different, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.:)
