HIPSTER RUNOFF

Yall. Since I turned 18, I have been thinking of which tattoo 2 get.

I read on a tattoo blogspot that male tramp stamps are going to be big in 2k9. Not sure if I want my tattoo to be 100% 'sexie' or if it should be a little bit more conceptual and do more to differentiate me from 'the crowd.'

I have also been thinking about getting something conceptual that turns my body in2 a work of art, but also lets every1 know 'guys--i know i look rlly kewl, but I also know that I am a dbag [via mohawk].'

Might also get a tattoo that proves I am an internet bro who writes all of his memes 2 his twitter....

Maybe ppl will know that I am 'ready 2 fuck' if I get this 'spooging cum on my bro' tattoo.

While I could make a joke about LOWER BACK TATS, I think I'll just let the wikipedia entry speak for itself:

Beginning in the late 1990s the lower back tattoo became popular, especially among young women. Lower back tattoos are often oblong in shape, following the slope of the back on either side of the woman's spine. The lower back tattoo is body decoration with the intent of emphasizing sexual attractiveness. Generally, a lower back tattoo will be designed to emphasize the shape and curvature of the female figure.

While such tattoos have become increasingly popular and accepted in recent years in many parts of the world and especially the west, they remain an object of derision in some quarters. Detractors consider lower back tattoos as suggestive of promiscuity and an indication of Raunch Culture[1], earning them the nickname "tramp stamp".

Several attributes of lower back tattoos have made them popular. While the lower back is not the widest area of the human back, it has abundant space for a large design, and horizontal tattoo designs can be worked easily. Another advantage is that the lower back is less likely to stretch and distort due to minor weight fluctuations, thus reducing the likelihood the tattoo becomes warped and faded.

Lower back tattoos are also often displayed in conjunction with halfshirts and bellyshirts (also called crop tops) designed to expose the midriff, and low-rise jeans that are worn low around the hips.

In the past few years, tattoo artists and doctors have questioned the safety of administering epidurals to pregnant women who have lower back tattoos.[2] Such concerns have largely been discredited in subsequent studies.[3] There is no consensus in the medical community as to the significance of the risk.[4] Most anesthesiologists will give an epidural block to a woman with a lower back tattoo. They will avoid placing the needle through the tattoo in order not to introduce any of the color pigment into the epidural space.

Some celebrities that have had such a tattoo are Ana Beatriz Barros, Angelina Jolie, Eva Longoria, and Dave Navarro.
