Welcome to Tattoo
Shorecrest's Award Winning Literary Arts Magazine
Editor's Note
A Special Thank You
Since 1963, Tattoo Magazine has been able to bring people together through artistry, whether it is through writing, drawing, music, or painting, and it is as important now as ever to continue this connection. The past two magazines have debuted our online format and have been explored by hundreds of people from our community who want to celebrate and support the arts. In the past, we have chosen themes for our biannual CoffeeHouse event and they have ranged from the “wild, wild west,” to “old hollywood.” This winter, the theme of “Traveling Through Time” not only is a creative and fun theme for CoffeeHouse, but it also is a nod to past editions of the magazine, as well as what is still to come. Tattoo looks back on past editors and contributors with nostalgia and gratitude, but also to the future with excitement for new ideas.
A million thanks to Rebecca Swinney for putting together the website this year. Thank you to Claire Beaumont, who grounds us and makes us laugh with her witty puns. Thank you to Maggie Feinberg who has shown their many talents and become a strong asset to the magazine after joining us just last year. Thank you to Rowan Wasserman who is always putting in the work to make Tattoo run smoothly. Thank you to Vance Cunningham, who joined us this year. We have enjoyed your writing as well as your audiobook-like voice.
To Mrs. Haines: You are an outstanding advisor. Thank you for the space you create that allows students the freedom to be themselves.
And finally, to you, our reader: Thank you for supporting Tattoo and appreciating all the talent Shorecrest has to offer, we are proud to be sharing it with you.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth Howlett
