Hello :-)

Hiya, tattooish people. I've just found out about this forum and it looks like a friendly place.

I have a couple tattoos - one in progress - and although I'm not an expert or a scholar on the subject, I do have a deep interest. I have a personal preference for traditional work, and the style works its way into my own artwork (which I do for fun, not for a career). However, I appreciate all kinds of tattoos and am looking forward to getting to know people here and seeing/discussing one of my favourite subjects.

I don't know if I'll end up being a proper collector or if I'll be content to stay with what I've got and enjoy tattoos vicariously.

I live in the Norf bit of the UK, where I work full time as an editor in an office full of nice people who do not appreciate tattoos.

Welcome! I work as a copywriter in an office full of nice people who don't appreciate tattoos (save for a few), so I just keep 'em covered for the most part. They're conversation starters, and that's not always a conversation I wanna have.

Hello, Hogg, Alanna, Lochlan, and RockelMan. Thanks for the nice welcome. I didn't mean to introduce myself and disappear so rudely! It's been a bit busy.

Lochlan, I agree: tattoos, the workplace and colleagues could make an interesting new discussion topic.

Hogg, luckily, my colleagues are really lovely and not judgmental. Some are really intrigued and want to talk about tattoos from the perspective of "I'd like one but I don't know what to get." The others just don't particularly understand, which is fine. Getting drawn upon isn't for everyone.

Anyway, I hope to be spending even MORE of my life online now that I've found this forum. So thanks again for the welcome. I shall see you again in the nether regions of the forum.
