Lower-Back Tattoos Are Back, With Low-Rise Jeans and Y2k

In the last year, Austin C. Pratt-Fusari, a tattoo artist at Sacred Tattoo on Broadway, has noticed a resurgence in lower-back tattoos. Women in particular, he said, are coming in and asking for so-called “tramp stamps” again — more than they have in about a decade. (Source: www.thecut.com)

The curious peek of a lower back tattoo seemed to make a statement to onlookers; its location and visibility suggested this woman was indiscriminately promiscuous: a tramp.

There Are Personal and Professional Reasons for Not Choosing a More Revealing Spot on the Body to Ink

If I'm completely honest, part of the reason I got a lower back tattoo is rooted in personal inhibitions. I set limits for myself based on other people's idea of what it means to be taken seriously, to be seen as normal.
