Flipping On Tats
Posted in Commentary on 04/06/2008 01:14 am by Chris HansenSo, I’m not a big fan of tattoos. I don’t have any and the idea kind of gives me the creeps. I don’t have any piercings for the same reason - at the time of my life when it was trendy and something I might have done, that type of body modification just doesn’t appeal to me. If you have one or want one, that’s fine, but it isn’t my scene.
This, however, is too much:

Lower Back Tattoos Now Available at Toys R Us (from www.cockeyed.com )
It really isn’t that much different than the temporary tattoos that I used to have from a box of Cracker Jacks growing up or that my boy keeps finding in toys and cereal. I think what bothers me about these is the sexual connotation associated with a lower back tat.
Am I wrong in this? I see a lower back tat and I think "tramp stamp" but perhaps that is just my prejudice showing through. Let me know in the comments if there is another common impression from a lower back tat.
