Why are lower back tattoos called tramp stamps?
I have heard that in a country (not sure which one) where prostitution was legal, prostitutes would have a tattoo there to show to clients who they are and that they are open for business. I also think it comes from the fact that that area is usually covered if you were to dress a bit more conservatively. Usually it shows only if you're wearing a short shirt, or really love pants or skirts, hence more provocative clothing.
In the good old U*S of A is where you heard about the 'tramp stamp.' Just an expression. I'm thinking about getting one myself... . . . . yeah right!
i was going to ask that question hah
