Lower back tattoos – or better known by their pejorative name of “tramp stamps” – gained popularity in the late-‘90s and early-2000s. Celebs like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera made them popular, and young folks swarmed to tattoo parlors to get their own “stamp.”Okay, first things first, can we stop coming up with some kind of condescending name for everything women do? Mom jeans. Girl Boss. Tramp stamp. Enough. Yeah, yeah, I get it.
We didn’t need the approval of our parents. Or our romantic interests. Or even our friends. We didn’t need the permission of anyone. And we make no apologies. Sure, I’ve heard my own peers lament their lower back tattoos and it always make me a little sad. I wanna scream, OWN THAT SHIT. Your body is beautiful and this is a mark of who you were at that time in your life. Own it. Love it. Celebrate it.And now we can.
Gen Z loves to mock us for our side parts and our skinny jeans while gobbling up those things that we ushered in. But you know what? So be it. We’ll let them take the credit. We Gen Xers and Xennials are used to being overlooked. So be it. And chances are we have a few more tattoos to add to those lower back tattoos. We aren’t looking for cred. We know we have it.
Lol I am an og tramp stamper and proud lol
Now rebranded as “tart art.”
