The Tattoo makes the news

We find ourselves looking today at photographs of two Tattoo mainstays -- alum Amanda Lehmert and hurricane journalist Samantha Perez.
The December/January issue of Girls' Life magazine features a pretty long story about Perez -- in an "as-told-to" format that we'll just roll our eyes at -- as well as a full-page, color photo. There's a odd little link at the end to her incredible work for The Tattoo as well.
Lehmert is featured on the front of the "Main St. Main Points" Fall '05 newsletter. There's a picture that we took last summer and a nice write-up about what she's been doing since leaving Bristol.
Our only complaint? The Main Street Community Foundation misidentifies The Tattoo as "a training ground for young local writers sponsored by The Bristol Press."
We're not, of course, sponsored by the Press and anyone who reads it can tell that many of the writers are not from the Bristol area.
But in the end, it doesn't hurt to get publicity.
And we do like those pictures....
