- "Tramp stamp" is a derogatory term for lower back tattoos. They're sometimes called that because lots of people have them now and some people don't invest much thought into what they want on their tattoo.

Because that phrase was coined by some drunk guy at a bar who really wanted to sleep with some chick who wouldn't sleep with him. She had a tattoo there and he gave it that name. You know how it goes, the chick that won't have sex with a random guy is a tramp or slut. Go figure.

Because that name is a falsity. I have one there and I am not a tramp. And I don't know anyone who has one there that is one.

- I'll buy that story. There is probably some truth to it.

- Cool. I've been called a slut for not sleeping with a guy before, which is kind of weird if you think about it.

Not everyone knows that those tattoos are referred to as 'tramp stamps'.

In my opinion, it's just a slang term, like any other, and doesn't mean anything.

Because they don't accept that judgment of that tattoo and they know that they're not tramps.

- Fair enough.

I never heard 'Tramp stamp' before.
My guess is because it's trendy.

- My thoughts exactly.

- Kind of like those warrior band tattoos all the college aged men were getting about 7 or 8 years ago. I never see those now.

They don't know that and they are trying to place them where they can show them when appropriate and cover them when they want to.

It's a fad.

It's just one of the more permanent ones.

What's going to be bad is all the grandkids who are going to catch a glimpse of those things on the grandmothers at the beach or something.

Some people are proud of being tramps. I guess:| I have never liked tattoos, but who am I to make any assumptions of anyone because they have a tattoo.

However, tramp would not be the right word:

TRAMP: DICTIONARY DEFINITION:

A heavy footfall.
The sound produced by heavy walking or marching.
A walking trip; a hike.
One who travels aimlessly about on foot, doing odd jobs or begging for a living; a vagrant.

A prostitute.
A person regarded as promiscuous.
Nautical A tramp steamer.
A metal plate attached to the sole of a shoe for protection, as when spading ground

So, if girls have a tattoo, they are a prostitute and if men have tattoos, they are a heavy football?

I thought the one above the bum was a slag tag? I thought the one on the shoulder was a tramp stamp. Ah well. Who knows why people still get them, I reckon some people LIKE being known as tramps.

Woman - Do you get offended when people call the tattoo on your lower back a "tramp stamp"? Men - Do you think the tattoo on the lower back is trampy?

So, if you HAD to get a tramp stamp (lower back tattoo), what would you get? (question valid for guys and girls!)

I am thinking about getting a tattoo on my lower back (yes a "tramp stamp") I already have gotten a tattoo on my upper back, how much more does the lower back hurt?

LADIES: Concerning "Tramp Stamp" or on your back. Why did you get one if you can't see it. I had a girl who had your "old" boyfriends name on her lower back... it sucked every time I did her from behind (her favorite) to look at his name.

Does getting a Tramp Stamp (lower back tattoo) hurt?
