1c. What Types Of Readers Do We Have On rec.arts.bodyart?
There was a time when the majority of RABbits were related to
university institutions, or to computer jobs or companies. This
has changed in the few years, with most new readers who have
accounts with Internet Service Providers. Be warned: It is more
difficult to learn the true identity of a poster for this reason.
It is impossible to determine the average age of our readership. We do
have some minors, while many are in college. However, there are quite
a few readers who are in their 30s and 40s, and older. Basically, age
is a non-issue on RAB.
There are, however, some groups associated with certain types of
bodyart. Some pierces (nose, cartilage) may be common among the
younger "grunge" set. Navel pierces are the height of hip for the
trendies. Cuttings have been popular among lesbians, while body
piercing has been popular with the gay/les/bi/transgendered pop-
ulation. For this reason, RAB is *very* GLBT-friendly.
There are now a number of professional body piercers tattoo artists
who read and post to RAB regularly, or at least have email access. A
note to professionals: RAB is a forum for all readers, and clients/
customers have just as much a voice on RAB as piercers and tattooists.
