Tramp Stamp? Like/Dislike

I have one, I got it the second I turned 18, when everyone had one, wanted one, envied other peoples. Most of those people hate theirs now, I wasn't super fond of mine, so I had my kids names worked into it, and now I love it. It's hot, and it's my first tat, so it'll always have a special place in my heart.

Does it make me a tramp? Meh

Do I give one teeny tiny f**k if some ELSE thinks it makes me a tramp? Yeah, not so much.

I like you better if you're a little trampy.

And seeing how your opinion is the only one that matters to me on these forums, I consider that a WIN

Modified Mama, your response is so childish. I voiced my opinion here about a THING, while you resorted to name calling.

I agree to disagree. I think by you basically saying that your husband said they are called tramp stamps for a reason is YOU name calling...and then being in denial about it. Deal with it. I simply don't put up with ignorant people and I have NO problem calling them out.

Hmm. I always get annoyed at these sexist type comments about women. Think about it, it's only women who get these slutty labels. I say let's start a new tradition, any guy with a ring around his arm (Celtic bands in particular) should be labeled a man *kitten*. Isn't that what this is all about? Labels? It's not a matter of dislike or like, it's a matter of some idiotic label being put on a woman that's sexual because men and women have a horrid habit of allowing it to happen. What's next? Will we start saying that anything that's a butterfly on the body means something specific? How about women who happen to have symbols that are nature like being easy? As you can see - it's awful easy to take something and distort it.

Labels are horrible. Great post.

We're not ignorant, we just have a different opinion than you.

I don't consider anyone ignorant for wanting to do it, nor should I be considered ignorant for not wanting one.

To each her own.

My husband just thought that someone who wanted one wouldn't use what some consider to be a put down to describe it.

And we didn't call anyone a tramp, ladies. We just don't like tramp stamps. There is a difference.

"And my hubbie says they're called that for a reason."

Ignorant. Just because somebody has something that some *kitten* labeled a "tramp stamp" does not mean that the person is a tramp. That way of thinking is nothing short of I-G-N-O-R-A-N-T. Not if people dislike them, just their retarded way of thinking.

Calling a man a man *kitten* doesn't work the same because men don't shame other men for this.

Exactly, you basically made my point. Men don't really have that many labels. It's only women. But, both sexes are guilty of spreading stereotypes. Think about how many derogatory terms are used that usually insinuate that women are easy. You don't see the same thing for men. That's why I really dislike these sorts of terms. It doesn't help when women don't stop the actual stereotype in it's tracks, though technically, it's both sexes that allow it to happen.

I think those labels are perpetuated mostly by women hating on other women. Thankfully in recent years I've seen a lot more "Girl Power!" types that try to build up other women instead of tearing them down because of how they express their sexuality.

I agree with you. Women hate women. The Mom on Mom hate is so freakin horrible now.

This thread was designed to perpetuate conflict in the community. That being said, why are those who 'dislike' tramp stamps hated on so much? Don't they deserve to have an opinion too?

Personally I don't like tattoos. Some people do. So what? We all judge each other, whether you want to admit it or not.

She's gotta tattoo of me right above her *kitten* man, in the streets of Warren Michigan we call em tramp stamps, that means she belongs to me

reppin the eminem here folks

Love them! Think that women that have them are hot!

I love them!

but I guess the important thing is if its a good tattoo rather than where it is

I love tramps!

Women should get tattoos wherever they want on their bodies free of judgement, k? It's a usually small tattoo in a place that's easily covered up, I don't see why it's gotta be treated like that's some kind of wildy sexual taboo.

My 50 year old senior English teacher went through chemo for ovarian cancer, and as her gift to herself, she got a lower back tattoo and I think that's badass.

Not a fan... never quite understood how that got to be such a popular placement.
