Any woman who does that to herself may as well have them just go ahead and scratch the words “I’M A WHORE” on her ass.

They call them tramp stamps, and that’s pretty much what they are.

I can never understand why a young girl wants to mutilate a beautiful body with this trash.

Old Ladies and Biker babes, Yeah, but why do the young want to look trashy?

They don’t call ‘em “tramp stamps” for nothing.

Tramp stamps will live forever as testimonials to bad judgement and total loser status.

You haven’t been on a college campus in a long, long time. The lower back tatoos (and tatoos on the top of the feet and ankles) are ubiquitous. A lot of girls have them on the back of their neck too where longer hair hides it.

Tramp identifier. Just like those giant earlobe rings the size of quarters are unemployable identifiers. I mostly see them in sandwich shops and burger joints.

And there is another side to this bit:

A friend's daughter-in-law had his first grandchild a year or so ago. Seems like she had one of the “butt crack” tattoos that many young girls seem so proud of. Only this one is apparently huge and brightly colored.

When they went to give her an epidural , they took one look and said no way. “We don't know what kind of ink that is, and even though this is a very small needle, it's going into your spine, and we aren't going through that.” As my friend later said, “she had that baby little house on the prairie style!”

I wonder if any girls are told that story at the tattoo shop?

We call them “Tramp Stamps”.

I follow the biblical precepts that tell us not to mark out body in a pagan manner. I never got a tattoo and would never get one either - for a host of other reasons in addition to my religious beliefs.

However, the concept of “tramp stamp” is so ridiculous. A lot of young girls have them today. Oh, if it were only that easy to identify the sins of others... your comment reminds me of a story. Many years ago a man I knew in the Baptist Church had to watch his daughter publicly go up in front of the congregation and apologize for her sinfulness - she became pregnant out of wedlock. It’s like the Scarlet Letter. Some sins are sooo visible while others not so and I wonder how many really nice girls may have gotten a tattoo or had sex with their ONE boyfriend while the skank slept around and just got a couple of abortions and her tattoo is in a place that you would never see, so you can’t “judge.”

I think it’s very narrow minds that think this way. Tramp stamps, indeed.

Yep. And there’s more. Some of the ink has too much metal in it and so it can mess up MRIs. I had a girl argue to death about that one. They just don’t want to know the truth.

I just think they are ugly, ugly, ugly - on men too. Of course, one tattoo on a guy isn’t that bad. They just are not feminine.

As the young age and begin to regret their choice to have themselves "inked," I am convinced that the person who comes up with an effective and easy tatoo removal system will become fabulously wealthy. If they attach an IPO to their invention, buy early and buy lots.

I also think plastic surgeons will be very busy in the near future. They'll be closing ear lobes and repairing other senseless youth driven damage that the young are doing to themselves.

They could have slit the tattoo open with a scapel and do the epidural below the dermis

Actually I was going to mention that but got tired of typing. My wife had a fight with cancer, and every time they gave her a MRI, the first question was, “Do you have any tattoos?” The metal ink causes the person to feel a burning sensation and they start thrashing around in the machine. If the tattoo is big enough, or the person is sensitive enough, they have to be sedated - twice. Once when they do the MRI, and again when they find out virtually no insurance company will pay for sedation during an MRI.

Something else I’m sure they don’t tell people at the tattoo shop.

That sounds reasonable. I only heard the story third hand, but apparently it was a real circus. Insurance coverage may have had something to do with it.

I was discussing tattoos with my college age daughter and her boyfriend, and mentioned that there were health risks associated with getting a tattoo. He asked if the inks were toxic or something. I told him to forget the inks. The real question was whether one trusted the “artist” to use a clean needle, or not reuse a single use needle, or not use up that last little bit of ink from the previous customer. Consider the clientele and “artists”, and balance that against the risks of hepatitis, HIV, syphilis...

Also the going rate for tattoo removal is about 10x the price of getting one in the first place.

Take a trip to a shopping mall during the summer time. Watch young girls walk away from you (well, sometimes not so young girls) and you will be greeted by a variety of images and words that reside just above their pants line, and many cases apparently extend below their pants line.

I used to see one occasionally, but now it seems more unusual to see a teenage girl WITHOUT one.

Tattoo removal already is big business. As for the holes, I’m not sure how all of that will be fixed. I saw a guy with one that had a Master combination lock hanging from the lobe. Ugh.

And I've read that lasering a tattoo hurts a lot worse than the original needle.

in most places, yes. they’re also warned about abdomen and breast tattoos stretching and not looking quite right after a pregnancy, and the probability of not being able to breastfeed if they get their nipples pierced.

Yes, of course. I was generalizing.

No tattoos, no piercings, and my ears are the way my DNA wanted them.

Went to Typhoon Lagoon at Disney World the other day.

Thought I had walked on to the set of another Pirates of the Caribbean movie or Shawshank Redemption remake.

Over 60% of the people had tattoos and the other 40% were little kids or Silvered Citizens like me.

I had an old Navy tattoo removed with by laser treatment in 1994. It was relatively painless — except for the price.

The tattoo itself cost about $20 bucks at a parlor off Broadway in San Diego — the laser removal treatments cost over $300 each, and it took three (two months between treatments).

Now you can still see where the treatment was done because the places where the laser hit are much whiter than the surrounding skin and there are still a few ink spots left. It just doesn’t look like a tattoo anymore.
