i quite often miss the odd new member introducing themelves when we hit upon a busy time ... would it not make sense to have a secction where anyone joining can go and leave an intro so we can find them all in one place and noone gets lost??? huh.gif

I've thought about it and was tempted to create a section called "Introductions" ust so we wouldn;t get the "Hey, Newbie here!" thread. However, I also feel that it would just look silly to have a whole section of posts like that. I wish they'd post in "Party & BS." What do others think?

I'll be honest, if there was a special section just for newbies to say hi, I probably would never go and read it... it wouldnt cross my mind too.

No offense as I am not that long here myself, but it wouldnt draw me in to read that section.

Agreed. I guess we'll have to put up with the occasional "Intro" post wink.gif

can we settle on guiding them to the right place to make thier intro by adding it as a sub heading of Party n Bullshit ... ''everything not related to tattooing and the place to intro yourself'' ... that way they are all in one place ... just a thought??

So you think I should add an "intro" subforum to the "Party & BS" section (similar to how we recently added "Technique &Tips," etc...to the Apprentice Q& A Section)?

I think Intro sections are a good Idea.. it gives people a "place" to start posting..

and saves us all from having to scroll through them all when looking for a specific thread under other area's


I like it just cause it gives it a "place" this board is going to get HUGE.. you have a great thing going and I honestly suspect it will become VERY large.. is always a good idea to keep things tidy as possible!

THis is as good a spot as any to break the ice I guess... my name's needles and I am a newbie. I just bought a gun and supplies and I am learning as much as possible before creating beautiful art on skin. Thanks for the help...

If you are about to leave a comment, please be as polite and positive as possible. I am sick of getting smart ass comments about my work, by users who have no tattoos in their gallery and users who NEVER EVER post any of their own goods. I know kids have fun putting others down. THINGS don't change. But let's try to be adults here.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I HATE EATING SPINACH and MUSHROOMS and I don't like watching or listening to some things too. YOU, on the other hand might LOVE eating that shit and listening to....'whatever'

If anyone ever states that "I should be ashamed of myself for tattooing", I say to them......."Tell that to my clients ASS HOLE"
THANK YOU

"Member Introductions" subforum added to "Party & BS" board. If you guys think it should be it's own board (maybe above "Most Requested" let me know and I'll change it.

Jason..

not sure if it should go about Most requested.. as that is one of the top forums if you ask me..

but I also dont know about it being a sub forum.. being that it is for noobs.. I honestly dont think many will notice or know about the subs..
