Lots of people, it's surprisingly popular.
You seem some shit if you spend enough time in tattoo parlors.
Since they came up, this 5 second film is relevant.

Method of Madness:
Ahh yes, the '90s. I remember them well.
Papersatan:
I've almost exclusively heard the term applied to women. When I have heard it used for men it is to compare them to a woman as an insult. urban dictionary agrees.
Regardless, I hate the idea that a tattoo is bad or trashy because of where it is located.

yeah? Your suggesting that women who get their lower back tattoed are judged as 'trampy' because it hurts to get tattooed there more than it hurts to get tattooed on traditional 'first tattoo' locations for men (the outer bicep and outer calf)?
seriously though, can we stop using the phrase 'tramp stamp'
--- End quote ---
NO, I flippantly suggested that the trampstamp is placed there so often because the diagram suggests it hurts less.
Also, no, 'we' cannot stop calling it a trampstamp because it's a frigging lovely word. Although in everyday conversation I sometimes will use 'aarsgewei'.
Papersatan:
The diagram suggest it hurts more than outer biceps or calves.
And if you want to continue to use the phrase because it is fun to say, then know you're being a jerk when you do so. It's a phrase used to demean women for tattoos that make them "trashy" and is at best a pretentious and elitist way to judge other people's choices a about their own bodies, and at worst is terribly sexist.
This thread has traditionally been a place where people can talk freely about their modifications and get advice without judgment; using an insulting term to refer to a type of tattoo that it's possible members actually have ought not to be tollorated.
