[edit] Remove gallery

I think the gallery should be romoved. Wikipedia isn't a gallery for tramp stamps. One or two pictures would suffice. 129.120.244.58 01:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree, although one or two illustrative photographs in the article would be useful. I've removed fair use images or images with uncertain copyright status or source, since they shouldn't be in galleries anyway. ~MDD4696 19:03, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it's good! I just rubbed one out to the artical! NARF! 75.22.35.213

I removed the gallery. There are already two pictures in the article itself. Isquitenice 19:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tramp stamp

why is it that its a tramp stamp? what if your not a tramp and just like tattoos there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.45.16.15 (talk • contribs) 10:36, 12 November 2006

Why is it called a Wifebeater (shirt) if you don't actually beat your wife? It's slang. That's all there is to it. Dismas|(talk) 19:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
why is she called a carpet chewer if it's not actually a carpet she's chewing? same thing. 68.123.46.53 17:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This needs a citation.

"Generally, a lower back tattoo will be designed to emphasize the shape and curvature of the female figure." Not in my experience! Most of the ones I've seen (Hundreds, easily, if not thousands) are cookiecutter splats of butterflies, Tao circles, or sonething else that was NEITHER applied NOR designed with the particular young lady's physique in mind. The ones the author of the above sentence are thinking of are expensive, require custom work, and can't just be slapped on there on an evening's lark with one's clone friends. 68.123.46.53 17:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ass Antlers

In German they are called "ass antlers"!! haha!

[edit] Cliff Bleszinski?

The term "tramp Stamp" is know worldwide now as the term for women who degrade their lower back area with a tattoo. The council of the American Medical Association had decided that this term is common with females. There are medical considerations that are not typical when a woman is need of surgery. The ink can cause infection and deters specific medical treatment to those with this type of tattoo, based on its location on the body.

Most men know that if a woman has a tattoo of this kind, that they are somewhat "easy" and not very educated. When a woman decides to get a tattoo, they want to bring instant notification to the public that they have a special mark upon their body and this is a turn off for men. So if women are going to get this type of tattoo, they need to understand that they will be judged by the tattoo and area of the marking.

"During the Game Design Challenge at the Game Developer's Conference in 2006, Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski publicly referred to lower back tattoos on women as 'tramp stamps.'"

I'm sure many more famous people have uttered "tramp stamps." Why is this guy the one quoted? Seems like insignificant trivia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.246.125.135 (talk) 01:22, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Anecdotal evidence

"Within the past few years, tattoo artists and doctors have questioned the safety of administering epidurals to pregnant women who have lower back tattoos.[1] However, such concerns have largely been discredited,[2], since there are countless[citation needed] women with lower back tattoos who have successfully undergone childbirth with epidurals and experienced no side effects.[citation needed]"

The fact that there are countless people who have suffered no ill-effects is not enough to discredit it. The fact that thousands of people smoke without getting lung cancer does not mean the smoking does not cause cancer. Some specialist (non-popular-press) sources would be good. --Taejo|대조 13:45, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
