My Introduction

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

I would like to introduce myself

Who am I?

Hi, I'm Bill. You can call me Dude. Or Bill, or Hey you.
I'm a Tattoo/Airbrush artist, as well as an amateur Luthier.

Why am I here?

I love the Idea of a community where we can support each other, without all the crap that goes with the mainstream social media models.

Ink

Here are some of the tattoos I've done over the years.

Software

I am a huge proponent of free and open source software, and have used Linux as my every day OS for the last ten years. So I will likely be posting info about open source alternatives to popular proprietary Applications.

Thanks to all who took the time to read this. Any support would be Awesome, so please upvote and follow....

Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?

Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.

Thanks thauerbyi. I can use all the advice I can get at this point. It can be a bit confusing. I'm kind of clueless for now, but hope to get a handle on this soon.

Nice. Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you as well.

welcome! Looking forward to read more from you :)

G'day @dude-slick! Welcome to the platform :]
