TRAMP stamp!
Replies

Tramps stamps were very popular in the early through late 90's right (maybe earlier)? What were they called before being derided as "tramp stamps"? And what do serious "inkers" think about them?
I don't know what serious inkers think, since I just have one tat on my back, I don't qualify! But I've heard them called Butt Hats... or Target Practice... or Dog Tag... or Bumper Sticker... lol... people have good imaginations!0 -
Oops. Holy giant photo. How do you make them smaller?
Just got my upgrade on Sunday.
Trying again...

LOL, never heard those!
I looked it up on Wiki out of curiosity and it says the following:
In the early to mid-20th century, women with tattoos were heavily stigmatized, and were rarely found in middle-class society. Lower-back tattoos were popularized in the early 2000s, in part owing to the influence of female celebrities, including Britney Spears, Christina Ricci, and Pamela Anderson. The popularity of low-rise jeans and crop tops may have also spurred the increase in lower-back tattoos. Another appeal of tattooing the lower back is that there is little fat there, lessening the chance that images will become misshapen over time. Also, the lower back is often concealed, providing women the choice of when to reveal their tattoo. Although some male celebrities have lower-back tattoos, they are generally not worn by men.
Women's lower backs are often viewed by people as an erotic body part, leading to the association of lower-back tattoos with sexuality. Lower-back tattoos are also perceived as an indication of promiscuity by some, possibly owing to media portrayals of women with tattoos. In a 2011 study of media stereotypes, Chema Salinas criticized media portrayals of lower-back tattoos, arguing that they are unfairly cast as a symbol of promiscuity. There are a number of pejorative nicknames for lower-back tattoos, including "tramp stamp", "bulls-eye", and "target".
Oddly, there seems to be some medical/health implications:
Medical practitioners who administer anesthesia have questioned whether epidural analgesia should be provided to women with lower-back tattoos. Concerns have emerged that epidural catheters may cause tattoo pigment to enter interspinous ligaments and other areas, potentially leading to health problems. There is general consensus that epidural catheters should not be placed through irritated or infected tattoos. However, harm has not been clearly documented when placing epidural catheters through healthy tattooed skin; a review in the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists Journal concluded that "epidural catheter placement through lumbar tattoos is a practitioner's decision based on clinical judgment".1 -
I hate mine. Laser removal someday. Yours is cute, though!0

Eeeek well I'm glad mine wasn't an issue when getting an epidural for my daughters birth lol. I would have told them to cut that sucker out then give me the damn epidural haha
Sorry, don't know where the quote thingy went :-/0 -
I have my son's foot prints as a lower back tattoo, with plans to add a quite from the crow to it.
My husband and I argue if it's ON or IN
"Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children"
I would to like to add a bit more to it as well.
I also have a side tattoo

I have one. You can sort of see it here. I got it (and the obligatory tribal) years before I got the back piece.
now see....you had to go and make me look bad LOL...in that suit and with that tattoo...:) looks awesome!
I happen to be fond of tattoos and have to say that both of you are equally SMOKIN hot! Both the tattos and, uhm, the butts! :blushing:0 -
new thread cause I totally typoed the first one...LOL
Ok I hate that saying, but I do have one and I was taking pics the other day (not of the tattoo, but of my weight loss progress) and I happen to have one showing mine and i LOVE the picture....so why not start a thread! lOL
LEMME SEE EM LADIES.....and ahhm, men if you have one you can post to LOL!!
Nice tat and booty!0 -
My 16 year old boy and I were having a conversation about tats this afternoon... I personally don't like them, yet I've seen some that were simply amazing works of art. I told my son that (aside from the same "old skin with tats" argument) what you feel like "engraving" your body with now may be totally off from your personality in even just a few years. Just food for thought, ya know?
I had the same conversation with my daughter (now 20 years old). She got one that is hidden by everything except a bikini, thank goodness. (I wasn't so lucky with the piercings conversation.)
Your tat draws attention to your butt which (as another poster mentioned) is very nice!
I can totally agree! I wanted a tramp stamp, and I knew what I wanted for a really long time, then as I got older I found something that means more to me and different placement- SO happy I waited!0 -
I'm not a "tramp" but I do have their "stamp"...it is my thumbnail picture. I LOVE all of the above tats! Awesome! The older I get (I am 34) the more tats I want....something like stars down my flank would be great 0

Nice picture!1 -
I dont have one but, I want one!! Told my husband, since he LOVES them, that I wanted one when I hit my goal and he agreed!! I want dolphins jumping in and out of the waves.
I also want a dolphin & Eagle one on my shoulder...Eagle swooping down and its beak touching the nose of a dolphin jumping out of water! :-)0 -
I don't have one and wouldn't get a "tramp stamp" not cos I think they look bad but just because if I were to get a tattoo I'd want one that goes down my side (like down my ribcage/to my hip IDK what I'd want it to be I just think those kind of tats are really sexy! Plus I want one I can keep concealed.
How painful were getting yours?
I have both... the lower back one I do not have a picture of... however this one I do... and I assure you... the side is a very tender spot and it took one 6hr session and one 3hr session.

<--- not a tramp stamp, but the beginning of my back piece. Second sitting next week with about 18 hours of work left...0

I have 5 tattoos, including 2 back tattoos, one is up the top, from my neck to by bra-line. It's 2 butterflies (a big blue one for my son - 7, and a small pink one for my daughter - 3) with swirls and designs. I also have a little heart on the back of my right hipbone. It's almost 10 years old, and it's sadly very faded.
I've heard the bit of the epidural and "tramp stamp" .. but I've never seen an epidural given at the lower back. Mine was always in the middle, about bra-line level. I can see the concern if there was a higher up tattoo, or a very large back piece, but I never understood the concern about lower back tattoos.
I'd LOVE to get a tattoo on my side. Don't know what yet, and I need to get one of my feet fixed. I have zodiac symbols on one foot and 4 forget-me-nots with a swirl design around them.. but the swirl design is patchy in some spots and almost thick and black in others. ugh. the joys of tattoos sometimes..0 -

I had epi's with both my kids and they put it somewhere about 3-4 inches higher than my tattoo anyway...so I don't think it mattered. I think that is specifically if they have to go threw the tattoo. but the epidural space is a little higher than where these tattoos are usually placed...so unless they are larger or have some sort of design that goes up higher on the spin, then it should be fine.0 -
I'm really not fond of them. The funniest one I ever saw though was on a guy at a White Sox game. His said TUBBY really big and under neath that it said B**** really tiny.0

I had "Forever Yours" written across lower back a few years ago as a note to my husband. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Very sensitive spot and apparently he likes it too as he kisses it every night.0

Wow, I just checked back in on this thread since like 2012 and I see there are posts from 2015 that I never saw. I hate to admit that this is NOT me now... I gained everything I lost back and then some...but I would like to look like this again, just not looking forward to the year of hard work it took the first time.3
