Tramp Stamps
Oct. 14th, 2005 01:08 pmSo as some of you know, I have a tattoo on my lower back. I recently heard the term "tramp stamp" for the first time, which was what at least some portion of the world refers to lower back tattoos as. This terminology really bugs me, largely because it sexualizes something about me that I did not ever think of as being sexual in nature, and also assumes that the person with said tattoo is, in fact, trampy, which I don't think I am. I've wanted the same thing in the same place since I was seventeen, before I had given any thought to sexiness. Anyway, is anyone else bugged by this? And how common is the idea that women with tatoos on their backs really are trampy?
