Confession: I love Tramp Stamps

Lerxst said:
What are these implications?

I've witnessed dozens of women get a lower back tatttoo and many of them got them because of a combination of they liked how it looked, it was a popular location, and it's easily concealed by most "normal" clothes.

You got me. I'm a sexist with low browed ideas about what a lower back tattoo does or does not imply.

:rolleyes:

I'll stay out of this thread. You guys have everything well under control.
 
I think the female form is most attractive without anyone's "art" on it. idn_smilie

I also don't like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain.
 
The SNL skit, Turlington's Lower Back Tattoo Remover was a classic

If any of you have daughters, let me ask this: How would you feel if she had one?

My wife and I are both tattooed, so I would not be surprised if my daughter, now 11, eventually gets some ink. I'd prefer she avoid the tramp stamp because it's so cliched, but if it makes her happy, why not?

Why would I care? She would still be my daughter. I don't think it is a negative in any way. I would want my daughter to be comfortable living her life in the manner she feels fit. It's her life not mine, and I have no idea why I should be concerned if my kids were to have tattoos. Perhaps the issue is the way in which you think about tattooed people.

My wife and I are both tattooed.

I'd say you are a self righteous jackass for even asking that question. All my daughters are well adjusted women capable of making their own decisions. I'd just feel sorry she had to deal with idiotic attitudes from people like you.

This; I find tattoos sexually unattractive, but I don't judge people who love the medium provided that the message they choose to display isn't dumb or offensive. I'm not going to be thinking "hot or not?" when I look at my girls. So as long as they're happy, healthy, and aren't making me feel like a failure as a parent by sporting swastikas or "ejaculate here!" targets or facial tattoos that would make them unemployable, etc., it's all good.

Wow -- an ad hominem attack from some dickhead who's never met me. What a shock...
 
I don't know if it was Socrates who said "The only stupid question is one left unasked" (it has been attributed to him), but apparently the folks here have much more wisdom than he...
 
My daughter getting a tattoo could never make me look at her any differently. In part because she's my daughter and in another part because I don't look at folks with tattoos any differently than those without.

:shrug:

Your question implies that somehow you would be upset, or ashamed of your daughter if she was tattooed. If that's the case, I feel sorry for your daughter.

Your question is stupid because you obviously neglected to think it through. Many of us are tattooed, are married to tattooed women, have tattooed daughters, siblings etc. To imply that they are less beautiful, valued or that being tattooed degrades them in anyway is short sighted, offensive and stupid. Then to fain outrage When someone calls you out is also ridiculous
 
It is also sexist in that you imply a tattoo would be fine on one of our sons, but somehow unacceptable for our daughters.
 
I said I wasn't going to comment, and I prefer not to, but a few of you are taking things too far. I understand tattoo has it's own culture, and many of you take it seriously, and some others take it less seriously, you don't want inappropriate labels to your culture, others outside don't understand the world of tattoos and the respect you have for them...but enough. Let's drop this thread.
