Women in particular, he said, are coming in and asking for so-called “tramp stamps” again — more than they have in about a decade.
Inevitably, the Y2K aesthetic fell out of favor — not to mention the word “tramp,” which is steeped in misogyny — and the pendulum eventually swung toward a more minimalist, more covered-up style. By 2013, Nicole Richie had gotten her lower-back tattoo removed, saying, “It just means a certain thing, and I don’t want to be part of that group.”
Miley Cyrus also revealed what seemed to be a fresh a lower-back tattoo this summer. “I don’t know what y’all wanna see more,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “My back tat or me in concert!” “But on a deeper level, it’s also about sexual liberation and taking back the idea that being a tramp is a bad thing,” she added of the trend, pointing to the rise in 2020 of “Bimbo TikTok” , an online community aimed at reclaiming the word, and celebrating hyper-femininity.
In many ways, a lot has changed in the last ten years. It’s generally accepted that having a tramp stamp doesn’t make you a “tramp” — but if that’s what you’re going for, that’s cool, too. Tattoos have also become less taboo in general, and continue to grow in popularity. If she were to ever get it done permanently, she’d get it a little higher, she said, seeing that she’s not a huge fan of low-rise bottoms.
