Rakovic explains that lower back tattoos were cute in the 90s until they were branded “tramp stamps.” The trend nowadays is for women to tattoo down their ribs. “In the elite tattoo community, these are labeled ‘skank flanks,'” he says. “It will only be a matter of time before that term is universally known.”
Accordingly, what does a lower back tattoo symbolize?
Women’s lower backs are often viewed by people as an erotic body part, leading to the association of lower–back tattoos with sexuality. Lower–back tattoos are also perceived as an indication of promiscuity by some, possibly owing to media portrayals of women with tattoos.
Likewise, people ask, why is a lower back tattoo called a tramp stamp?
The term “tramp stamp” came into popularity in the late 1990s as low-rise jeans — worn at the hips rather than the natural waist — became the go-to trend for women’s denim.
