New poster introduction

[therockingchairyears]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this site but not totally new to tattooing. I used to spend a lot of time on BME when I was a teen and got my first tattoo at 22. I recently at 29 got my 2nd and 3rd tattoos, though I might just consider them my second since they go together. While I love tattooing and would like to get more tattoos, I consider myself to be very indecisive and so I have to mull over tattoo ideas for a long time before committing to one.

I joined the forum here because there seems to be a lot of intelligent discussion regarding tattoos and tattooing, and I like that the focus here seems to be on quality tattooing. I hope to learn more than I currently know, maybe get some advice, and hopefully contribute to the great discussion here. Because I take so long between tattoos I feel like things have changed so much between them! Or maybe things have stayed the same and its just the difference between artists lol.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome! You've found the right place if you want to learn about good tattoos, and I'd expecially recommend watching the artist interview videos because they'll give you an insight that you can't really find elsewhere on the Internet. Glad to have you aboard!

Welcome! Love your username, but it sounds like you have quite a few years to go ... unless you are rocking in front of a beautiful stretch of beach and sand, or a gorgeous view of the mountains...

Hello! I'm the same way as you, it takes me a long time to make decisions. It took me three years to figure out what I wanted on my back but once my mom mentioned "dragon" I was ready to get a tattoo that week. Hopefully your next idea will just hit that elusive mark and you'll know. It was the same when looking for an artist too. @SeeSea sounds like you might know where your happy place is, haha.
