What does the term “Tramp Stamp” mean? The term “tramp Stamp” refers to lower back tattoos on women and it suggests that the women who wear them are promiscuous.

The Urban Dictionary says this of women who wear lower back tattoos: “Those chicks with tramp stamps are the kinds of girls you take home to bang. Don’t get into relationships with them because they are often immature gold digging sluts who sleep with everyone.”

Some extremely ignorant opinions This is an example of total ignorance…a strong opinion about something that is based on little knowlefge and a lot of prejudice, Some people spread their mindless ramblings as fact. Of course, rumors spread like wildfire, so the next thing you know everyone believes this junk and continues to pass it on as solid truth.

Where did this “Tramp Stamp” term originate from? It’s not very clear when it became a popular phrase to describe lower back tattoos on women, but it’s been much more prevalent recently.

Are any of these rumors true? Is it true that women who wear lower back tattoos may be more promiscuous than others? The studies that say they prove a correlation between lower back tattoos and promiscuity are neither scientific nor accurate. Women who are already promiscuous may choose to get a lower back tattoo, but that doe not necessarily mean it goes both ways. It would be like saying that since some rabid dogs bite, then all dogs that bite are rabid!

Is there a connection between lower back tattoos and sexuality? It’s fair to say that women who display tattoos on the sensual lower curvature of their backs are expressing sensuality and sexual confidence. Showing a little lower back, with or without ink, is no different than showing skin on other sensual areas of the body. In the 1800s, a woman would be considered immodest if she showed her shoulders or legs. The shocking pinups of the early 20th century, featuring bathing beauties in swimsuits that are laughably modest today, were considered positively pornographic. Even in the mid-1900s, “good girls” never showed cleavage! Fortunately, times have changed and women are freer to show skin without raising as many eyebrows, but that doesn’t mean it never happens.

Areyou willing to accept the attention? If you have a lower back tattoo and if you choose to display it by wearing low-rise jeans or crop tops, you will have to accept the fact that you are going to attract extra attention. But can you handle it? To assert yourself as a strong independent and sexually confident woman means being able to carry yourself in a dignified manner despite negative reactions.

Inappropriate Comments? Showing a lower back tattoo is not an open invitation for other people to make sexual comments. While it may be true that there are those out there who will be quick to judge women with lower back tattoos and refer to them as “tramp stamps,” there is no truth to the claim that these women are promiscuous.

Who will judge you? If you are a woman wanting a lower back tattoo, just go for it. If you are concerned about the people who will judge you for it, either toughen up or cover up. If you are one of the ignorant people spreading the “tramp stamp” rumors, well…consider yourself more educated.
