If you don't want to be shamed, don't do things that are shameful.

Tattoos on men are just as trashy, so I don't know why you're trying to make this about gender anyway.


Please. You know as well as I do that tramp is not used to describe men unless it's 1920 and we're talking about homeless people drifting around on trains

Besides having a tattoo is not shameful. You may not like it but is nothing to be ashamed of. I would be more ashamed of being a judgemental shrew


You should be more ashamed of name calling.

I'm not ashamed of my tattoos, nor do other people in my profession (yes, I have a profession) find tattoos shameful. I would find it shameful to talk to someone as disrespectfully as the anti-tattoo people are being in this thread.

I think many tattoos are beautiful and awesome and I don't judge people who have them. I myself have two (not tramp stamps). I also have a doctorate, long term relationship, and no diseases.

That being said, the tramp stamp became really popular in the early 2000's or late 90's when it was also popular to wear backless shirts or cropped shirts. I would venture to guess that the ability to show off the tattoo because of fashion trends was one reason it became so popular to get one in that location. The unfortunate name "tramp stamp" came after they were already wildly popular.

Actually the word for that, is "hobo". Tramp is used in the UK only to describe homeless people. Horrible word.

One day I was home with my toddler and he asked for a long (maybe 4 inches long, 1 inch wide) tatoo (fake) on his back. So I put it in the tramp stamp location and he giggled because it tickled. My husband's face when he cam e home from work was priceless...

Just thought I'd share....for no good reason.

There have been studies noting the correlation with lack of academic success, sexual promiscuity and higher incidences of venereal disease.

Glad those studies prove your worldview.

I guess your masters degree isn't in a research field.

The piece on my shoulder blade is especially meaningful, and it was very touching when my wedding photographer did a series of shots featuring it (it was very obvious with my strapless dress), because it commemorates my grandparents. I can see it--and my other back pieces--when I look in the mirror.


[Weird.]


NP here. You're an asshole.


I agree with them. It is weird that people "honor" their family by inking themselves. Oh and such touching wedding photos. I'm sure gazing at close-ups of her discolored skin is just like having them there.

The fact that no one on here is saying "Yeah- they're great, got one last year" -- pretty much sums up if a tatoo located on the small of the back is a solid long-term choice.

It takes little energy on my part to hold the opinion that a tattoo on the small of your back is placed there so that the guy can gaze at it admiringly when he's banging you doggy style. That's WHY it's there, and that's WHY the female put it there, instead of on her arm, ankle, deltoid or ribcage. Or neck, forearm or navel.

Everyone knows this, and it doesn't make me "not grown up" to state this.


Yeah it does.


Agree with immediate pp. The "banging you doggy style, everyone knows this" poster is ridiculous and sounds like a gossipy High schooler (which is ironic because you are probably a bitter old nag approaching or passing middle age). My childhood best friend got a flower in the small of her back at age 18 because she thought it was pretty and because it would invisible most of the time. I would wager many "tramp stamp" owners thought the same. This girl was the farthest thing from what some of you would consider a "tramp." Good family, elite private school, now happily married with two kids and a rich husband.

Grow up.

So she got a tramp stamp and did not know before hand what it meant? Ha!
