Feedback How Did You Find Us

Lucy Locket · 31 Dec 2012

Hello all,
Just a little bit of research really.
Since Google has changed the way they spider our websites and #rank us, we have gone from top on most search terms relating to learning how to tattoo, to alot further down the rankings. If you remember a month or so ago, we had a mad influx of spammers every day, so banning gmail email halted it instantly. Now i am wondering whether Google has taken offence to that.

My question is this:
How did you find us?

I am going to make adjustments again, and see if anything changes with our rankings.

Thanks for your help. xx

I found this awesome forum when i was searching for tattoo guides/help on google! Now im thinking of getting premium membership here but dont have a credit card =(

Laughing Buddha · 31 Dec 2012

I was searching Japanese traditional tattoos when I came across this site. I had never even thought tattooing would be somethging I wold like to do until I read the posts on this site.

I should take it as a good sign when google shows me something I didn't ask for.

When I was 19 I found the Spartan Health Regime when I was searching for some kickboxing stuff. I got it and lost 4 stone.

In 2005 I was searching for kickboxing techniques and came across Rawai Muay Thai in Thailand. I decided I would go for a few months and it was the best thing I have done with my life.

Thank you google for being so crap lol

I dont think you need a credit card if you use Paypal. It can come straight from the bank.

I found the site when i was looking for tattoo ink reviews via Google.

lamb of god · 31 Dec 2012

I found out by researching tattooing and how on google and found it...took me weeks of researching on google to find it though...not sure what i typed

toetoe62 · 31 Dec 2012

i was looking for some online flash and then a came across it but didn't sign up strait away and i had a hell of a time finding it again because i couldn't remember the full name.

TexasPT · 31 Dec 2012

Viper recommended it to me.

simon1983 · 31 Dec 2012

fronshee · 31 Dec 2012

chunkymonkey · 31 Dec 2012

I think i was googling machine's set up, i use gmail and still get notifications.

AksysGamer · 31 Dec 2012

Surprisingly... I found this forum on Mike Devries website which is known for having "anti-scratcher." and "Apprenticeship only" posts. lol.

Stealth Ninja · 31 Dec 2012

I was looking on the tattoo shops forum and in one of the post some one mentioned this site, so I checked it out and instantly book marked it.

DJHicks · 31 Dec 2012

If i remember right I too searched goggle for Tattoo Forum

Fordman77 · 15 Sep 2013

I was looking through all of the usual google crap when I saw it, gee it is good to read a forum where you don't get called a scratcher(not that my feelings are easily hurt)

skullianz · 5 Nov 2014

I found this site via a link on the UTAT2 website, I had done a training course in tattooing with them 4 years ago and have just opened my own studio so was looking for others who are new to the industry to chat to and hopefully some with more experience to get advice from.

Patch72 · 5 Nov 2014

Got sent site details via a email,then googled it

jacksdad · 5 Nov 2014

honestly cant remember,,, glad i did tho

Sl1pperyweasel · 6 Nov 2014

Think i was just googling for tuning advise when i ran across it.

KarosLajos · 6 Nov 2014

I found this place, with "tattoo forum" search in google.

Morrissey · 6 Nov 2014

Me too 'tattoo forum search ' threw it up ...

RandolphCarter · 13 Jun 2018

Just found this site after an evening of frustration while tattooing my thigh. Im a complete noob at the techniques but earlier this week i decided to Take the step from drawing and studying tattoos to actually try on myself. And wow... lol.. I learned a lot though but decided to research more about the learning process. One thing is theory another is doing. I found i know too much about higher level stuf, which i will need to build a base to understand. Seems like a really nice forum though, and now ill indulge in binge reading.

cheers from Denmark. Anders

Searched "9 liner for thick lines?" btw..

Beaky · 14 Jun 2018

I can't remember exactly what I Googled but I think it was something like "How to tattoo solid colour" or something to that effect.

TexasPT · 14 Jun 2018

I love that this came back up after six years...didn't realize I'd been here this long. I still learn things...and after six years I'm only now at a point where I feel like I'm putting out quality work more consistently. It's a marathon kids...especially when you are living a full life outside of your tattoo studies.

Himself · 14 Jun 2018

Think i googled on needle depth and found this forum. registerd, read a couple of days and then got the premium membership wich i req for everyone who hasnt, lots of great info in the premium section, just sayin

Goldwingdaz · 15 Jun 2018

searched 'home tattooing' and found it. and yes, banning the gmail will also lower the bot rating on google.

MalligaMallan · 16 Jun 2018

I think I've been here 4y already

First with another account which I lost my password for so I started this one instead. @TexasPT was one of the oldies

I was even a little afraid to comment on his postings

How wrong I was

Not about oldie though

I remember ads for the site came up all the time when searching tattoo info on Google - I never had tried tattooing, didn't even have a machine or anything. It was just an idea that suddenly had come to my mind. I already had a masters degree in fine arts though.

All blinking ads about "help me tattoo forum" were so annoying so i finally clicked on one to see what it was. Totally stuck 4y later. Best thing I ever did!

DKJ · 20 Jun 2018

I typed www.helpmetattoo.com and here you were.

Peace,

DKJ

balooka · 20 Jun 2018

I bought my stuff from someone that had zero artistic skills but thought she could master tattooing in a week or so. Did not work out like that and she sold literally everything: from massage bed, saddle stool and thermal copier, to the cheyenne thunder set and everything in between. Anyway... since I bought it and also did not know how to get started, this was the only place with free non-member info and active users that replied to n00b questions without being dicks. So yeah, there you have it

JP · 21 Jun 2018

I was a member of another site but it was full of people who just insulted each other without really offering any constructive feedback, when i searched for an alternative i found this site and never looked back

Darkskythe · 18 Jul 2018

I came across a number of other places that were toxic and hostile, especially towards beginners. I think i literally typed into google 'help with learning to tattoo' or something and this site popped up (a fair bit down in the results if i remember), had a quick look around and everyone seems to be so nice, helpful and friendly I signed up for my wife (she is the one who is going to learn), where hopefully will not be too annoying with the typical questions if we cannot find answers via searching.

Leonm78 · 13 Jul 2019

Mush · 20 Mar 2021

I searched google for something and the same question had been asked on this forum, then read the answers to more of my questions and went premium. I am not at a point of giving advice but it nice to get feedback and be involved.

gadsden1776 · 22 Mar 2021

Mush - you may not be able to give good or "correct" advice on a tattoo yet... but you're an artist (I assume) & you can always add artistic input or insight on other things you do know about (sanitation/sterilization? running a biz? marketing?). & when you do comment & it's "wrong" that's fine too.... it's ok to be "wrong"... as it allows others to correct the mistake & opens discussion as to why it could be wrong. it actually allows discussion & debate that takes a subject to it's foundation. when someone understands the "why" instead of just knowing the answer - then they can think critically & apply that knowledge to other "things".

basically, don't be scared to put your 2 cents out there - someone could learn something (even if it's you).

Tmatrix540 · 25 Apr 2021

Through Google whilst doing research on shading techniques Google brought me straight here ?

Blu J · 27 Apr 2021

Google search for wrist tattooing troubles

MirandM · 20 May 2021

If I remember correctly, I was searching google for answers on which machine speed to use, I may have used forum as one of the search words, since I'm more a fan of forums then youtube. Anyway before my first post I payed for premium, faster than I do my tattoo's

Shamana · 20 May 2021

Searching for hints/tricks on tattooing then I found this forum. it was like finding the leprechauns gold, never found the gold but now I know the feeling and don’t bother any more?

StartAgain · 13 Jun 2021
