tattoos for girls tramp stamp image
Melissa
I have a butterfly tattoo on my back right above my butt, I recently found out it was called a "tramp stamp" and now I am freaking out cause it just sounds so bad.
Guys, I need your real opinion of this please.
Answer
You really shouldn't let that get to you. You define your artwork, not the other way around. Lower back tattoos are very common, but they are also very feminine. Next to the hips, I cant think of a sexier place to get a tatt on a girl. and because other people notice this too, its become a popular place.
Agaisnt the name, there are several other good reasons to tattoo your lower back. 1) its flat and open, theres lots of room for artwork, and maybe even extend to the back 2) like i said its sexy 3) a good place to hide if need be, or to show off
The only excuse not to get a tattoo there is because of the pain, or because you base your life on socail and public acceptance, not meaning tramp stamps are unacceptable in society, just that people like to use things to catagorize and degrade others.
Are all lower back tattoos on women tramp stamps?

Are all back tattoos on women tramp stamps or just the ones that go across the back that look like wings or tribal etc. My wife has a fairy on her back and her friend said that's a tramp stamp. I say it isn't. We have a bet on this one.
Answer
Well, it depends on who you ask. I'm a tattoo artist, and we refer to them in the business as lower back tattoos. The only time you may hear it, (at least around my shop) is when some girl, (looking like she's been missing out on soap and water for a week) comes in to price one, and when she finds out what tattoos cost, heads out the door. Now, that phrase is derogatory toward women in general, and was likely coined by some narrow-minded geek, who wasn't getting any. So, he came up with the term, out of nothing more than lust, jealousy of her boyfriend, and good old fashioned self-righteous indignation. Too bad popular opinion, among the ill educated, swings the other way. Also, good lower back tattoos are conformed to the lines of the body, particularly across the top of the hips. they can cut it low, so it can be hidden with regular jeans, but still show it off in the bedroom, or on the beach. To me, that in itself shows a dignified attitude about placement. NOT to be confused with a 'bulls-eye' as that is put on for different motives, and a whole different subject. The fairy is a fairy tattoo, that also happens to be a lower back tattoo. Calling it a 'tramp stamp' is ridiculous. That's my two cents.
