This is the first time I have heard the term.

3. It was an odd tattoo though.
I really don't care for "body art" myself. I liked the rest of the picture though.

"White Trash Birthmark" :rofl:

4. That phrase has always annoyed me.
I don't have one but every time I hear it I want one, just to prove a point.

I'm no tramp and I know of others who are not either but have those tats.

It's no different than calling a girl a whore because of what she is wearing. Phrases like "tramp stamp" make it sound like the girl "needs" it or "deserved" it, whether she was asking for it or not.

When I worked at a police department I remember a case where a girl was raped and the witnesses said she deserved it because she had a "tramp stamp". Maybe that's why I get upset over the phrase.

(Ok, rant is now done.)

5. I have a lower back tattoo.
I'm definitely not a tramp. I also got it before people started calling them tramp stamps. The "nickname" pisses me off greatly and I think it reflects more on the person who uses it than the person who has the tattoo.

6. Exactly.
"Tramp stamps" are more common now then they used to be. Not everyone who has one can be considered a tramp, yet most would see them as so.

IMO, it's just another way to label women and put them in their supposed place.

8. rant away
I can't believe someone was that shallow and evil.

My question is: how does one live with themselves having witnessed a rape and not intervening? Then go on to say something so incredibly evil? I don't care who the girl is, I would take the worst beating of my life to stop it from happening to her. What a Jackass, all the way around.

9. Thank you.
That's when I really started hating the phrase. Before then I found it annoying.

7. That's an awful name
for the sexiest tattoo a lady can get. I love tattoos on the lower back/upper ass, there HAS to be a better nick name for them than that.

Unfortunately, the location has some bad press because, from what I understand, alot of porn stars get them so that they can identify themselves absent of their face and make sure they get paid any time a shot of them is used in a production.

I don't know 100% for sure that this is true. You never know what to believe on the internet.

11. That seems like bullshit.
I know people in the porn industry and I never heard that before.
