Tramp stamp tattoos are nothing but lower back tattoos! So now that you know what is a tramp stamp, let's see why it is called so.

Why the Name Tramp Stamp?

Though tattoos are very popular nowadays and even if they are considered a symbol of coolness, there are some tattoos which are regarded as trash or 'bad'; lower back tattoos are one of them. In the 19th century, there were many groups of people who believed that women who get a lower back tattoo done, have a low inclination towards sex. Earlier, the name tramp stamp did not have any negative meaning. It would be called tramp stamp simply because they looked as if they were stamped. Another interesting fact about these tramp stamp tattoos was that, when originally this term came into being, it was used to refer only tribal or Celtic tattoos. Lower back tattoos had nothing to do with it. It was only in the early 90s when some biased opinion people gave a vulgar meaning to it. However, it was a long time ago, now no tattoos are regarded as 'bad'. In fact, tattoos are like a must if you want to look cool!
