I think the craze for tatoos has gone overboard and will start to dwindle.

As for the ones on the lower back, they beat the ones on the bum.

I nearly got one of those myself when I was younger, some tribal rubbish.

I am so glad I didn't now... just looks cheap, tacky, un-original and things like that haven't got any particular or sentimental meaning.

I think it is because many people think they make the wearer look cheap and, well, trampy.

I guess they are called that because every tramp has one and they are put there for the sole purpose that someone might see it.

I call them ass horns, but that is just because that's what it looks like.

Because a lot of people got tattoos right along the waistline of their pants, basically drawing attention to the fact that their shirt or pants are cut to be revealing. Generally a tattoo with no real meaning, like a bunch of swirls or something. described as "something to look at when you're nailing her from behind."


I think you can get a lower-back tattoo and *not* have it be a tramp stamp, though I'm biased because I have my own lower-back tattoo. :) I figure I didn't get it on impulse, it does mean something to me, and it's high up enough that most of my shirts don't show it. A lot of people don't know I have it unless I tell them.

Cuz its on the lower back...and when your doing it...its right there in site

Or the only other time somebody sees it is when their shirt comes up...or is too short.

Its just a lousy place to put it....unless you "want" people to see it...(when they arent sposed to see it)...if that makes sense.
