Let me preface this by saying, I don't mean to offend anyone who has one of the ornate lower-back tattoos that's recently come to be known as a "tramp stamp" (here in these parts, anyway). As someone who thought it prudent to permanently etch a creepy-crawly looking ladybug on her hip at the wise old age of 17, I certainly am not one to judge.
But as long as the tramp-stamp term's getting tossed around, I figured I'd throw it at you as a topic for debate. Here's what I'm wondering: Do any of you have this type of tat, and if so, have you come to regret getting it, or do you still find it sexy/cute despite the recent backlash? What would you respond to those who think your particular type of body art makes you come off as trashy? For you ladies who don't have a lower-back tat, what's your opinion on the whole matter?
