Just a bunch of immature people that refuse to grow up and refuse to accept responsibility. This sort of childish behavior is celebrated in today’s culture.

This article is a waste of time. At age 70 she should have 3 boyfriends. No need to apologize for what is good for her. A tattoo is better? Gimme a break.

It seems tramp stamps whent out of fashion about ten years ago.

Don’t see them on women under 30.

Many 30-45 years old have had them removed by laser.

In 1939 Dad was about to go into the Navy. His Father told him that if he came back with a tattoo, not to come back. He went through Pearl Harbor, and The War in the Pacific, and came back tattoo free. Dad told that story to his 7 kids and we are all tattoo free as are our kids. It just makes sense.

Being in my mid 60’s I can relate to this article. I rather liked it. I came to the conclusion about age 60 I didn't have to take crap from anyone any more and pretty much speak my mind. And yes, I have a tattoo I got at the age of 48. I was going through a rebellious youthful period.

A tramp stamp isn’t just a tattoo.

It’s a tattoo on the bottom of the small of a woman’s back, very, very low down.

Very.

Low.

I was always too chicken to go under the needle. I got my ear pierced in my teen rebel days, but the only ink that ever made it on to my arm was the “lick and stick” kind of tattoos you got out of a box of Cracker Jack. Y’know, the kind that came off with your next bath.

I had a co-worker who told me that for her 18th birthday, she got a tattoo, a small butterfly on her ankle, I think. For her 30th birthday, she had it removed. She said it cost more and hurt more to get it removed, but was glad to be rid of it.

Permanently marking your skin is something you should 1) really really think through, b/c you will not feel the same way about it a year later, and 2) make it original and something meaningful to you -- which means you should have enough life experience to make a meaningful choice. Getting a tat of a band or a temporary gf/bf is dumb.

As Neil Boortz said, no woman ever looked better with a tattoo.

My oldest sister was a geriatric social worker. She saw enough "body art" on septuagenarians and octogenarians to convince her never to get a tattoo.

And I agree, no woman (or man, for that matter) ever looked better with a tattoo.

Good for Mr. Boortz. Call me judgmental, but a tattoo on a woman is a complete turn-off for me.

Never want a permanent one. You can get a henna tattoo that lasts a few weeks and looks just as “good” - if that is a good luck to you - and no needles, and you’re not stuck with it forever, and you’ll never have regrets because they aren’t permanent.

For whatever reason, tats on active duty military personnel are respectable. Tats on conformist sheep looking for individuality in group identity are nothing less than mindless and trashy. Wonder why?

During my generation, our fathers and uncles came back from the Pacific, and you couldn't help but notice the blue blobs that used to be "Death Before Dishonor" on the forearm...

But, we were somewhat brighter than the Democrats, so that when our kids started getting tats, we could point at Grandpa and ask, "Really?".

I’d agree. I don’t think tats on a woman ever look good. The only ‘tat’ that would be acceptable to me would be if a man had been in the military and has something reasonably respectable, like a boat anchor/flag type tat or something suitable for whatever branch of service.

About 6 years ago I worked for a call center for a short time, and one young lady(?!) had bent over her phone one summer day, she had a shortish top on to begin with ...the kind that just barely touches the top of her jeans, and when she bent over with her back towards the group everyone saw her ugly foot long, 6 inch tat plastered right over her butt crack that said ‘Doggie style.’ So help me, I came -><- that close to smacking the crap out of her, because her mother obviously hadn’t seen it yet, or she would have knocked that tat off her daughter and the tat would have been somewhere in orbit.
