I love them. It is my way of expressing myself. I have 5 tattoos that have an actual meaning

I have a question though...
What is a 'tramp stamp'?
I keep reading that here, and don't know what it is!
Thanks to anyone who can tell me what this is....I'm guessing, though, based on what I've read, that it's a tattoo on the lower back...is this right?0 -
No. I'm not into defacing my own body. I also find them a turn-off in women, with a few rare exceptions.
It's just so trendy. There was a time that having tattoos meant something; either you were a biker or had done time etc. Now it just means that you follow the crowd.
Couldn't disagree more. Trendy is sport tattoo's or tramp stamps (lower back tattoos) or barb wire arm bands. not all tattoos are trendy and the folks that put in hours under the needle need to be respected because that is balls to the wall!!!!0 -
I'm getting Leviticus 19:28 put on my arm next week ;-).0

I completely disagree with this.
If you want to get to the roots of tattooing, I suggest you do a little bit of research.... Tattooing has been around for centuries, and it did not start with bikers or people in jail.
And I would adore to know how I follow a crowd.... I am, out of every one I know, the least person to follow a trend.
This comment is just idiotic.0 -
And to that one who asked about what will I do when I get older, here's my answer :bigsmile:

A 'tramp stamp' is a tattoo most commonly got by girls, at the bottom of their back/spine. Usually a tribal design. xo0 -

First, I completely agree with you, well said! (I am referring to the second post that points out that not all tattoos are trendy and should be respected. Right on!)
Also, thanks for clearing up for me what a "tramp stamp" is.0 -
Have a sleeve and several others.
They make me happy. And when I'm wrinkled and old, I'll be a way more bad *kitten* old lady than all y'all without ink.
And I'm ok with that. 0 -

Me too!!!!0 -
I think they're hot on a hot guy. Even sometimes if there are tons of them... but that's not something I'd want to wake up to every day. A few here & there is cool.. but I like to see mostly skin. [ha!]0

Each to their own I suppose. I guess I'm biased as I was brought up when the only people who had tats were either criminals, or seamen.
If I saw a pretty girl at the bar, and she smoked, it was for me a huge turn off, these days if she has a tattoo, I just think she is stupid, you can express your individuality every day by wearing different clothes. I just think reduced IQ, not responsible.
I think Ozzie Osbourne got it right when he said if you want to be different, then don't get one, as every F**kers got one now!
They may be in fashion today, but fads change and you are stuck with it. I'd not like to be stuck with flairs from the 60's or Oxford bags from the 70's. So no, not for me. But if you get pleasure out of them, and you enjoy wearing them, that is your choice. But people do judge you (rightly or wrongly) on appearance, fat, thin, small, tall, skin colour, the lot, and make a quick judgment.
Just my option from a fat pompous bloke (No tats though) LOL.
Oh dear. I must be dreaming the fact that I am studying a Psychology degree to become a forensic Psychologist earning no less than £69,000 a year.... Silly me. After all, I must be incredibly stupid seeing as I have tattoos =/0 -
I am a fairly straight laced; stick up his @ss type of person. No ink; no branding; no body penetrations. Do not smoke; do drugs and rarely smoke. If you have body ink or penetrations, more power to ya. I have many friends who have choosen to modify their bodies in many ways, I look beyond the what the exterior looks like and get to know the person, OP you should try it some time.0

Thanks for answering, sweetie!0 -
I have a chest and back piece, and now moving on to my arms. I am going to be one colorful old lady.0

I actually feel very embarrassed for the people making these negative comments because it could not be more obvious how very little (in fact, nothing) they know about body modification.
The term 'face palm' springs to mind.0 -

Sorry, but whether you're going to admit it or not, tattoos are a huge trend. How many TV shows are there about it now? It's just a fact.0 -

And to that one who asked about what will I do when I get older, here's my answer :bigsmile:
have this on my FB and LOVE it...lol0 -
30 years ago the number people who got tattoos was small. Now it is large. It is very trendy. That's why everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Now, it may be that if you were around 30 years ago, you might have been one of the minority who still would have gotten tattoos, but that doesn't change the fact that it's trendy and so "me too" at the moment.No. I'm not into defacing my own body. I also find them a turn-off in women, with a few rare exceptions.

Oh good grief... why don't you people READ posts before commenting on them? The gentleman clearly said that's just what springs to his mind... even admitting it might be wrong. His point is 100% valid. Fact: humans make snap judgments based on appearances. Chill out. If you love your tattoos so much, just own it. Don't be such whiney b**@#s about it.0 -
wHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEM? yeah or no??
FOR ME, IT IS A firm no,,, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY,, it is just a no!
What is the purpose of this entire post/forum... also, the amount of grammatical errors in this makes me wince.
I agree, I wish MFP had a spellcheck! It's so painful to read!0 -
High five!!
I love my tattoos, will get some more when I feel I have achieved a firm stomach... That is my mission xxx
I started with a tramp stamp, but I must be real *kitten* score now,:blushing: :blushing: :blushing: (single and celibate for years thank you very much) as it has spread up my back... The bottom was covered then it just spread....
They are addictive, I only spend about one or two hours a time getting them done, love it, I fall asleep............... After the first 5 mins that is............
Mine are for me and me alone!! xxx
Trying to post it.... Will try again later... Sigh................ xx0 -
You are entitled to your opinion. It doesn't change the fact that tattoos are a current trend.No. I'm not into defacing my own body. I also find them a turn-off in women, with a few rare exceptions.

So his opinion is valid, but we are whiny b&*^&s for expressing ours?
Isn't that a double standard?
Talk about 'snap judgments'...
And BTW, I DID read the posts...What's your point?0 -
