Its really interesting….

IMHO- a Tat on a woman screams whore especially the tramp stamps.

Why do you think they call them “TRAMP” stamps

I know I will piss off all the inkers but that is the perception of most people like it or not.

There is the old story, first perceptions and it is true.

“perceive” a lot about you from that post alone.
Your grammar is poor. Your mind is small. You’ll say stupid things to get noticed.
Look at that. Sometimes it does work.

thebriand on August 21, 2007 at 5:13 PM

Boy you are just a wee bit sensitive about my observation about first perceptions.

I would be willing to bet the farm you have tattoos.

I did not insult anyone yet you are so defensive your only response is to try and attack me.

I stand by my observation about tattoos and I am not intimidated by personnel attacks.

My respect for someone drops immediately if they have a tattoo. It screams “Loser”.

lorien1973 on August 21, 2007 at 1:05 PM

My respect goes down for someone who can be so superficial.

JVelez on August 21, 2007 at 1:15 PM

That’s pretty much what he said, isn’t it? Literally speaking, tats are ALL superficial.

I don’t automatically presume that someone with ink is a loser. However, a great majority of them manage to prove it before too long. Unless you’re a computer programmer/biker who gets an Apple logo tat.

“Welcome to Jamaica! Have a nice day.”

there it is on August 21, 2007 at 12:02 PM

Ha! Classic!

Wearing a tattoo is like wearing the same shirt everyday for the rest of your life. Even I’m not that conservative.

I think it’s more like having to wear that shirt in the corner of your closet that you never wear anymore.

ScottyDog on August 21, 2007 at 4:46 PM

I would absolutely love to see you try calling a woman with tatts a whore in public. I bet the best you can do is type it.

Come on, folks. Lighten up a little, huh?

The Race Card on August 21, 2007 at 5:17 PM

Any good white trash person worth his salt wouldn’t be offended by the term white trash. At least I am not.

The problem with racist slurs isn’t the problem of the bigot that uses it but the person that is offended.

When someone calls me a “INSERT SLUR HERE”, I just say “yeah what ever”

By limiting in any way, anyone’s right to use any word or phrase leads to tyranny of thought.

It seems apparent at least to me, that folks with tattoos are trying to say something.

Some want just say they are cool
Some want to make the “I wont be ruled by convention statement”
Some want to show association with the under class
Some want to show association with the under world
Some do it for tribal custom.
Some do it because they think it looks sexy
Some do it on a dare
Some do it because they are drunk
Some do it because they think it makes them look like a bad ass.
Some do it because they are delusional dumb Asses.
Some do it because they are in the military.

Whatever their reasons for doing it, I reserve the right as a free man to prejudge them harshly.
I like to generalize so I just throw them all in the trash category.
I’m just redneck that way.

I have no issues with tattoos in general, just this “tramp stamp” that is apparently so common and so disrespected that it has its own name.

Jaibones on August 21, 2007 at 3:42 PM

So what you’re saying is that you are totally willing to insult people you know nothing about based on the rude, thoughtless remarks of a whole bunch of other people.

Who’s common?

Does every white trash girl in America have a tattoo that she can display along with the top of her thong every time she bends over?

I think…yes.

Jaibones on August 21, 2007 at 11:42 AM

I don’t know what qualifies as “white trash.”
The Race Card on August 21, 2007 at 2:50 PM

I saw a dude on a cafe bike the other day with some edwardesque, celtic lower back tatoo the other day. I almost drove of the road laughing.

Supid white trash!

TheSitRep on August 21, 2007 at 3:47 PM

I honor of the “Romper Room” level that racial dialogue has sunken to in this country, I move that the term “White Trash” now be referred to as “The W Word” as this racialy derogatory reference is so abhorrent to me that merely reading it produces in me the irresistable urge to sue.

ronsfi on August 21, 2007 at 3:34 PM

Ronsfi, you might be joking. But I am actually ashamed that I referred to the usage without noting how derogatory I think it is.

I think this term is second only to “nigger” in its offensiveness. It’s classist and base. Try a little exercise. Substitute “white trash” with “white nigger.” See how offended people are then.

I think we should find less offensive language to refer to people. If one cannot describe you in terms other than your physical appearance, they probably don’t know you that well. That goes for sexual, racial and stature objectification.

I don’t think most people are as offended by its use as I am, but I am offended at the term “white trash.” I should have made that clear in my previous posting.

Despite my rant, I think we can all laugh together at any man who has a tattoo just above his butt.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who made the connection.

I love when someone is calling someone else stupid and commits a typo…kinda takes the sting out.

EnochCain on August 21, 2007 at 3:50 PM

I didn’t never says I weren’t no stupid white trash either.
he he
Sorry about your tat.

thebriand on August 21, 2007 at 1:53 PM

et al,

Hope I didn’t give that impression…I just was afraid I’d pick something stupid for a 60-y-o, not that tats were stupid. And it has seemed like a fad, but maybe that’s just the shows about it. Just an FYI…

Although this idea began as a joke 20 years ago, I have thought about what others might think, so here goes: How would a petite woman look with a tat on her bicep?

I loved this concept – a heart with an arrow through it, with “Daddy’s Girl” (Daddy above & Girl below). I’ve been contemplating it seriously ever since I lost my father.

Well…whaddya think???

Anyone ever read “Et Tu, Babe” by Mark Leyner? His whole vision of visceral tattoos may be on the money.

thebrokenchair on August 21, 2007 at 2:17 PM

Thank you! I was going to mention this if you hadn’t. Brilliant.

To me, tattoos are not about adornment, they’re about history.

Supid white trash!
