Before Youth Journalism International existed, it went by the name The Tattoo and its students came, at first, only from the Bristol, Connecticut area.
It first went online in 1996, but we're not sure there is an image of what it looked like at first.

"I decided to draw a girl who's faceless, except for a percent sign on her face, to symbolize how each woman murdered becomes a statistic. Her hair is chopped off really roughly and the rest of it is tied around her neck.
