A little nervous but excited to be here!

[Mermaid Nuxx]

Hello everyone, my name is Nux and I'm new to the mer-community. I'm a little nervous about joining because I don't really fit the classic role or image of a mermaid. With my short silver and black dyed hair, and my first tattoo to happen in about a week and a half, I'm afraid I won't fit in here. I'm not really a girly-girl and I can come off as a bit cold when you first meet me but that is mostly due to my anxiety. I guess I just want to be able to fit in here.

Hello and Welcome!! You know if I've learned anything about merfolk- it's that they are just as varied and unique as the fish in the sea!
I understand how the anxiety can be though. However, I have seen a few Mers on here (including professionals)who have tattoos. :)

Hugs and Fishes and an extra big Welcome!

It's nice to know I'm not the only newbie here. Welcome to you too! :pearl:

We sirens aren't all 'girly girls' thankfully. ;)

Welcome to the community! I'm not sure what your experience is with mermaiding but I hope it helps with the anxiety. <3

Thanks Mer Coralia, I've always loved the water and when I found out that there was a profession where you can be a mermaid I was immediately in love with the idea and the community, but in middle school and part of high school I was told that I wasn't good enough or pretty enough or that I was just a freak and stupid so it's taken me awhile to even JOIN the community. Hopefully as I become a part of this lifestyle I'll also become more confident in myself. Might as well try!

You took the words right out of my mouth! I feel the same way.

Welcome! Yes there are all kinds of mers here! You will fit right in! ;)

Many mers have tattoos as well. One merman (it might be Merman Dan) has tons of cool aquatic tattoos!

Welcome! I'm also a newbie and we seem to be about the same person (though your hair sounds way cooler than mine). I was nervous to join, too, but so far everyone seems nice and don't seem to bat an eye at us newcomers! Everyone here has a lot in common, mainly the fact that we're all very large fishes with two legs at heart!

[Mermaid Nuxx]

Haha yeah, I must admit that I'm already loving it here. Still too nervous to show my face yet but maybe soon.

Welcome to the network. I just started with the community over the summer last year. I'm 40 which is a bit old for starting out and I'm completely covered in tattoos. We are all different lol no need to be nervous. Since last summer I've made a tail, am in process of making another, better one, I have found a pod of wonderful local mer in my area and have actually done a dry event at a Renn fair. So much has happened in my mermaid life since I discovered this whole world exists! Good luck in your adventures
