Yeah the tramp stamp is played out and boring. Not too mention hideously prevelent.
Tippy..gonna mention you here because when I think of chicks with tats..you pop into mind.
Her stuff is tough and thoughtful. I would wager there is not one piece of flash on her body (though I hear she flashes..but that is another topic).
When it comes to women, the last thing I would want one to be, is lie every other woman.
Honestly J-Bett....if it was your bag..and in your heart...you would not even wonder what we thought.
But it's an interesting topic. At least I think it is.
It is kind of interesting how the social stigmatism of ink still stands, even after all these years of main stream exposure and encouragement. It is also interesting how the prevelence of tattoos has brought on another degree of stigmatism in that having ink can now bring accusations of being a poser, or hip, or trendy. Which in itself is the exact opposite of what tattoos in the American culture, at one time, was in defiance of.
I am still very much in love with the idea of one earning tattoo's the way certain cultures once had, and other, more tribal cultures, still practice.
Ink marking rights of passage for tribal members.
I am nearly 40, and there is still so much ink I want. I will never be one that gets massive coverings, though I will have complete sleeves and extensive back work done at some pointover the next few years.
My mom once asked what I would say if Wilburette wanted to get a tattoo.
I think my answer would be that if it were something she truly believed in, she would not be asking me about it.
