Mission Statement
Tattooed Tongue Press besides being a one person army and a renegade force is a small publishing house mostly dedicated to publishing unknown and emerging women voices, especially lesbians and bisexual women. With a commitment to social justice and human rights Tattooed Tongue strives to make change through the echoing of words. Our mission is to stay small. In staying small we are determined to remain fugitives from the mainstream market economy and prefer to place more emphasis on legitimizing works through the building of networks and communities. Tattooed Tongue also actively encourages and assists individuals to self-publish and/or start their own press thus, eliminating the idea of art as competition. At Tattooed Press we understand the need for historical accuracy and are committed to the belief of NOT allowing someone else to define “your” personal experience.
