    A powerful piece about bullying, the lessons learned and the scars remaining. Well done.

    A captivating play about how a traumatic event in someone's young adulthood (like bullying) can have a profound impact on someone's later years. When the revelation comes...it makes me wonder who really can't move on and forgive... A great ten-minute, perfect for festivals celebrating female voices (or dealing with the topic of bullying). Perfect for young directors in college.

    A moving play about the power of our past scars, they way they hold onto us, and the way we can have power over them. Tattoo You takes us back to our collective consciousness of high school and the intimacy and publicness of a girls bathroom. I love to call this play a reverse coming of age story.
