Introductions!

Hey guys! I've noticed a lot of new faces lately. MR has grown considerably since November 2007, especially in the past year or so (we have celebrated 2000th member and beyond in the past year!).

So, I think it's about time we started an official newbie introduction to MohawksRock.com thread!

Feel free to come through here, say hey! Tell us something about yourself! Established members, too! You might be surprised at what you find out, even about someone you thought you knew really well. Maybe you live close to some members! Or have a unique ability that will set you apart from the rest. Don't be shy!

If you ever have questions, don't hesitate to ask. If you're feeling shy, you can use the search bar at the top right hand side of the browser, too.

Also, check out this thread. It explains the chat feature on this site. Real, live chatting with fellow mohawk enthusiasts! You can either access it from the chat tab up top or the bar that runs all the way across the bottom of the browser.
The Chat Room!

I'm Immortal.

I'm getting a hawk on sunday or so.

I like hard rock, metal, and classical music.I like to make video games - that is attempt to make them - only ever finished one game. I play drums and bass. My favorite movies are the Lord of the Rings and Fight Club. My favorite show is Game of Thrones. My favorite book is A Storm of Swords. Most of my time is spent browsing internet forums because I'm a lazy bum. That's enough for now.

Hit me up sometime if you wanna talk.

Name is Rob and I found this site through Pinterest.

I am of somewhat "mature" years and have never worn a hawk. Have had my hair in a "high and tight" with shaved sides and had been growing out my hair on the top. However one day I saw a dude at the store with a short narrow Mohawk and thought it was really cool. Didn't think I would have the balls to have a hair style like that. Got me to thinking however! The more I thought about it, the more I wanted one. As you get older you tend to care less about other people's opinions/expectations. I have always been a people pleaser and did what was expected of me. It is a time in my life that I want to do what I want! (Late onset midlife crisis?).

A few weeks ago changed jobs. My previous company had a no Mohawk policy. Even fauxhawks were seriously frowned upon. And I was also pushing it with the length of my beard. New company made no comment about beard or gauges in my ears (1") during interviews. Let's see what happens!

OK - so narrowed down the hair on top considerably to about 3". Now trying to work on growing out the hair at the back. Leaving hair on top fairly long until the rest of the hair catches up somewhat. No comments on me having the top narrowed down so far. So we will see how things progress. I may be pushing it with the new company - but what the hell.

AlexS was an inspiration. Initially he was pretty unsure about his initial cut. But now he is rocking an awesome hawk and seems very happy and confident about it.

Cheers to everyone - Rob.

Hi, I am Tom, a 57-year old guy from Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

I have taken as my nickname here 'Tomtogetmohawked', because that's the main distinguishing minor point in my case, after joining this great group today: I still am showing a plain ordinary hairdress on my head and thus still need to get mohawked.

I'm totally new in this scene. I think wearing a Mohawk is fucking hot and makes a real macho man out of a guy. It's the most cool, sexy and masculine haircut I know. So I indeed hope once to have the guts to submit myself to the clippers to get mohawked in the future too. It's as such already a long-lasting desire of me - but! But as I've always had a 'normal' haircut, of course I am haunted by this one big question, which a lot of other guys that want to wear a Mohawk will ask themselves: What will the people who already know me for such a long time think if I suddenly turn up mohawked?

Being a academician, neither in my professional environment at the University, nor in my personal inner circle I know anybody who went through the operation yet. Thus I am at the same time longing for AND dreading the decisive day that I will join the fraternity and have to offer my head to the hairdresser for the initiationrite: the sudden complete transformation of my looks, waiting for the unforgettable experiene of being scalped. Thus I look forward to AND schrink from the memorable moment that that electric clipping-machine will start to run relentlessly at position zero all over both the sides of my head up to the crow, leaving just the narrow central bristly tuft of my new Mohawk protruding from my otherwise egg bald head.

I hope to pass that crucial doorstep in my life with help of more experienced guys in this group. I hope them to encourage me to have the cojones to wear a real Mohawk soon and them also to help me first to find out what exact kind of it would be the right one for my head, as the final goal is to replace the pic in my profile by a more fitting one!
