Submissions wanted for a zine about women and tattoos!

[Laura]

Hello!

I've been thinking about doing this for a while, I've been looking forever for a zine about tattoos but could never find one, so thought I'd just make it myself.

So me and my friend Lydia are going to attempt to put together a zine about being a woman and having/loving/collecting tattoos! I've always felt slightly out of place in tattoo shops, found I get more comments about them than my tattooed male friends, but they also make me feel more confident and have helped me reclaim/accept my body more.

So we'd love to hear from tattooed ladies who've had similar experiences (or completely different ones). Send us anything about being a woman with tattoos!

You can email us at [e-mail] or if you want to send us a page message me for my address :)

Hope to hear from you soon,

Laura xx

EDIT: Just wanted to add a deadline (thought it would be best to get my arse in gear). I'd really like to get it done for the London Zine Symposium (29th May) so if you could get something to me by May 1st(ish) that give us time to put it all together.

Also, we'll be sending you a free copy of the zine :)

Also: it's going to be half size and we more than welcome pictures or drawing of your tattoos/designs!

ooh this sounds good!

I will put something together for you about "jailhouse" tattoos. Maybe a different perspective for you on how this process is generally a huge mistake. I know firsthand. X(
Just an alternate viewpoint for you.

Can I submit?
I'm too young to get a tattoo (plus my mum would kill me) but I'd like to submit something about my ideal tattoos and what they'd symbolise.

of course! we want to hear from anyone who likes tattoos, even if you're too young to get one!
