    Generally, I am of the opinion that nothing peeking out between the back of your shirt and your pants is gonna be classy. That includes the refrigerator repair man butt crack, the pink thong, or what you so tastefully term the "tramp stamp". But as long as I don't have to look at it while eating, it does not concern me.

    Well i feel like I'm classy. My tattoo on my lower back doesn't define who i am. If some want to call it a tramp stamp then they have totally got it wrong. Just my opinion.

    I've only ever seen about five tattoos that I've actually liked and thought 'yes, that was a good idea'.

    But meh, as long as it's not my body...

    I think all tattoos are eyesores. They make attractive people look kind of trashy. Just my humble opinion.

    You know what else makes people look kind of trashy? Judgmental comments.


    wait, so his opinion of tattoos is "judgmental" and therefore subject to ridicule, but your opinion of his comments is not also inherently judgmental? Logic fail! If he's being judgmental and is subject to ridicule, so are you.

    So I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. This is just her opinion, one that many people share. She shouldn't be criticized for it.

    I have never understood why people who don't like tattoos have to be so rude about it. Granted, the OP asked for people's opinions. But really, saying that they make people look trashy and equating them with a lack of class does come across a bit rude and judgmental. LOL. Not that I really care what anyone thinks. Just an observation that I have always wondered about.

    One of my favorite quotes: The only difference between people with tattoos and people without tattoos is that people with tattoos don't give a @#$% that you don't have any.

    It was just an opinion, one that many people agree with, so why not?
    There is a difference between an opinion and saying someone looks trashy. I have 15 tattoos. I don't think I look trashy one bit and find this opion offensive.

    This is just like Orwell's newspeak. Change the things people are permitted to say, either by directly forbidding it, or by ridiculing and ostracizing speech you don't agree with/that offends you. He never say anyone looked trashy, he never said you personally look trashy. He wasn't even thinking about you when he said it! He said that tattoos can make attractive people look trashy. Whether you agree or not (I personally do not agree with him), you should champion his right to say that. Free speech for everyone keeps everyone free. Let's not censor thought/speech that offends us or makes us uncomfortable.

    I have no problem with tattoos and certainly don't think having one, or the placement of one, automatically equals trashy.

    I have one, and I love it. I dont think the placement matters. I have one somewhere else that I would think might be looked at more that way than on my lower back. And people that are saying tattoos are trashy in gerneral... your personality is trashy for passing judgment on ppl that have tattoos. Every single one of mine has meaning and will for the rest of my life. Im proud of my ink and I WILL flaunt it!!

    I LOVE tattoos! I have 7. A large one accross my lower back has my four kids names incorporated into it. All my tattoos have some meaning, so they are special to me. I love checking out other people's tattoos and hearing the story behind them.

    Trashy

    I guess i am forever trashy...I have many tattoos, all original, all thought out over a period of time and all have a special meaning....most of the time they are covered up due to work, but whatever.... TRASHY is your opinion and we are all entitled to one.

    I have a lower back tattoo. There's a picture of it in my profile. I don't think anyone has ever told me that it looks "trampy". I could care less where people have a tattoo. If it's what they wanted and where they wanted it, then that's all that matters.

    I have been wondering the same thing myself! I can't say I see many "classy" tattoos placed there though. They usually are "trampy" things. I agree though, the lower back is a really nice area for a tattoo! It's too bad they have such a bad rep!

    I think it depends. All that matters is that you're ultimately happy with it.

    I have one and I like it.... that's all that really matters..... you should get your tattoo for you.... not for anyone else.

    I couldn't care less what people thought of my tats I got them for me not to please other people.

    Sheesh. That's a pretty harsh judgment to pass. :/

    This always cracks me up- in Germany (where I lived for 7 years) they are called "arschgeweih" which means *kitten* ANTLERS (HAAAAAA!HAHAHA!) I've also heard "California license plate" but I think *kitten* antlers takes the cake.
