You beat me to it...but said it much better than I would have.

My ex-sil had a very large tattoo on her abdomen and lower stomach. She was very proud of it and displayed it everytime she could..at that time in her mid 20’s.

She is now in her late 30’s and has four kids. I can’t help but wonder how that tatt survived aging and child bearing, lol.

The only thing worse than a tramp stamp? a tongue piercing!

nothing screams cheap skank like tongue piercing.

My last girlfriend was a smoking hot Costa Rican babe with a killer accent and lots of tattoos. They didn’t bother me a bit.

Yuck, very National Geographic

What will the daughters of today's pierced and tattooed young women do to distinguish themselves from their mothers? They might go back to the unenhanced natural look, or they might go full National Geographic.

Tramp stamp.

I read that most of the Chinese symbols are nonsense, backwards, and in some cases insults.

That’s rather mesmerizing. What was the thread about again?

I detest tattoos on women, though I’m ok with a small meaningful one in decent location. My friend has a small indian paint brush (very meaningful to her) on her ankle. What I hate more than that is eyebrow rings and nose rings, all that sais to me is “I’m a pretentious liberal douche...look at me look at me”

which is why she was your girlfriend and not your wife :)

So it looks as though there is a strap to hold up a top. Is this thing female?

I have no idea why any Dr would do such a thing - the so called Dr is as sick as the whatever it is who got this done. Although I suppose you can say it’s free expression...and doing what you want with your own body...but geez!

It’s always more upsetting to me to see otherwise pretty young things with tattoos.

Those tattoos are dubbed “tramp stamps” for a reason.

You never go full National Geographic.

garbage.

utter BS to make beautiful women feel insecure.

Putting an Asian pictograph tat on oneself is exceedingly stupid for obvious reasons.

My niece is literally covered in tats. And she looks like a pathetic moron. Which, sadly, she is.

I have seen too many women in their 40s and 50s with tats that haven’t aged well, to say the least. On boobs that have grown significantly larger and hang a lot lower than when the tat was put on. These college girls think they will have firm boobs and tight butts forever. Just gotta chuckle at that one.

They didn’t get the name Tramp Stamp just for grins.
