As most of you know, on January 1st, 2008 we will implement a paid-membership based structure that may restrict some of your current privileges, unless you upgrade and purchase a membership. There will be 3 subscription options:
Thusly, the board will have Jr. Members (non-paying) and Full Members (paying). As always, guests and all members will still be able to access and read ALL BOARDS. However new members and those who choose not to upgrade will not have all the privileges Full Members enjoy. Jr. Members will have the following restrictions implemented:
There are other tattoo forums on the web, however if you do your research you will quickly learn that this is the largest, most informative and most welcoming of it's kind. And while we offer boatloads of information for those looking to learn, tattooing can never be a casual hobby. Not only is your work permanent, but if safe practices are not followed, there is the possibility of contamination, infection (and we mean the kind of diseases that really f*ck up your life), as well as scarring someone for life. We think that those that are serious about learning proper technique and practices will undoubtedly see the value in pledging a membership. The amount of free information and knowledge on this site is unmatched and costs less than many of the DVDs on the market that don't offer any kind of interactive capabilities whatsoever. If you are serious about tattooing, we suggest purchasing a membership package (Starting at only $2/month!). Thanks for reading. -------------------- Stay humble.

Those prices are extremely resonable and very afforable.
The $10 yearly membership converts to only $11.75 AUD. I've got enough room on my credit card for that.  I'd be lost without this forum. I've gained so much knowledge and there's still so much more for me to learn. The few egay tattooing ebooks I had brought before I found this forum have a huge lack of detail and some have false information. Basicly, they were shit. I have paid for membership and I fully support you Jason. This post has been edited by Tattoo Sue: Dec 28 2007, 03:07 PM -------------------- I crave knowledge!

jason
will you still be offering lifetime memberships to contest winners? I think that is something you should keep because it would really get people motivated to enter the flash contests, in turn, getting them to improve their drawing/flash skills.

Not sure at this point if I'll continue giving memberships to weekly flash contest winners. It's a good idea, I just haven't decided as yet. I was hoping I'd get some company to sponsor monthly contests so we could give a prize of gift certificates and membership, so let me mull it over.

Changes have been implemented. Please let me know if you notice any issues! Also, I decided to reward those with over 500 posts with Full membership privileges. However, if you recognize the value of the site and want to contribute, you can purchase a membership. Every penny helps

I literally had to edit everyone's membership status by hand (individually)! I figured I'd screw up a few. Everything should be sorted out. -------------------- Stay humble.

Bulldog, sorry to hear that someone's appropriated your knowledge for their own financial gain. People can suck. Karma's a bitch, however so they create the world they'll ultimately live in. I could easily sell sheets of old flash I've archived. However, If it 'aint mine, it 'aint mine to sell.

Yes, while going through the list of members, I decided to keep those with over 500 posts (as of 1/01/08) as Full Members. Mind you, I'd still appreciate a donation on their part. However, I felt as though what they contribute to the site warranted a free pass. -------------------- Stay humble.
