It’s another “tattoos are soo trendy” article from a major news source. Like we haven’t heard a thousand people tell us this before.</p> <p>But here’s the part that really bothered her, and me:</p> <blockquote> <p>…<span> </span><span>a popular placement for women’s tattoos has moved from the lower back to the rib area.</span></p> <p>“We call it the ‘skank flank,’” [the tattoo artist we interviewed] said. “Every week or two, I see another girl with another rib piece, and you have to tell them that.”</p> </blockquote> <p>Excuse me?</p> <p>Wanting to get a <span>discrete</span> tattoo that you can easily cover up makes you a skank?</p> <p>Since when are ribs considered a sexual body part?</p> <p><strong>Really, if nothing else this makes the fact that “tramp stamps” are body shaming that much more clear. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term body shaming, it’s a cultural phenomenon that essentially makes everything you do with your body wrong. You’re fat? Lazy and disgusting. You’re skinny? Eat a cheeseburger you look anorexic. You’re fit? You look like a man. And so on. It’s designed to make women (and increasingly men) feel bad about their body, no matter what they do or how they look.</strong></p> <p>Here is how the same douchebags would like us to view tattoos:</p> <ul><li><strong>Lower back tattoos</strong>: you’re a tramp</li> <li><strong>Rib tattoos:</strong> you’re a skank</li> <li><strong>Wrist tattoos:</strong> you’re a dumb skank</li> <li><strong>Arm tattoos:</strong> you’re a whore</li> <li><strong>Leg tattoos:</strong> you’re a whore</li> <li><strong>Feet tattoos:</strong> you’re a whore</li> <li><strong>Shoulder tattoos:</strong> you’re a whore</li> </ul><p>There is no bit <span>exaggeration</span> in this. Anyone who would call the girl above a skank for getting a Disney tattoo on her ribs is a fucking idiot.</p> <p><strong>All of this language is used to control women.</strong> To make us judge each other’s bodies, feel self-conscious about our own, or dictate what we can or can’t do (with tattoos, weight gain/loss, or anything else.)</p> <p>Really, the best way to nip this in the bud is by calling out anyone who uses the language of “tramp stamps.” The logic is the same in both, and by having conversations with people on why this sort of language hurts women, we can start reclaiming our ability to tattoo whatever parts of our body we want.</p> </blockquote> <p>society tries to cleverly disguise misogyny & fails, again.</p> </blockquote> <p>misogyny is never clever.</p> </blockquote> <p>Sing it, sisters. So tired of the whole “boys club” attitude in tattoo culture.</p> </blockquote> <p>i wonder when these people will learn that we are a bunch of overgrown 12 year olds and shouldn’t be taken seriously ever? </p> <p>its a fucking joke. jesus.</p> </blockquote> <p>You’re getting it wrong! They’re called “HOE HANDLES!” And yes it’s the new tramp stamp. DEAL WITH IT!</p> </blockquote> <p>Talk about missing the point. This has nothing to do with body shaming or a “boys club” in tattooing at all. Its a way of taking the piss out of script on ribs, which is an annoying fad. I have never met a girl who has been happy with her tramp stamp after five years. I would bet money on hoe handles going the exact same way.</p> </blockquote> <p>Just as a data point: I’m happy with my ‘tramp stamp’ and I’ve had it since 1991. I’m not thrilled with the term ‘tramp stamp’ though. Meh.</p>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/42464576064http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/42464576064Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:23:29 -0500<a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2018752842_goatman23.html#.UA7GkyDsjpQ.tumblr">Man in goat suit seen living among goats in Utah mountains | Nation & World | The Seattle Times</a>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/27912929231http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/27912929231Tue, 24 Jul 2012 12:00:39 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2900ykVuP1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Adventures into the Unknown, No. 160, December 1965 - January 1966</p>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/20829084535http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/20829084535Tue, 10 Apr 2012 01:17:00 -0400comicstigers<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv572ttCec1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/13232910842http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/13232910842Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:04:05 -0500bad tattoo ideas<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrzv7cFqZv1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/10568508814http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/10568508814Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:18:48 -0400bad tattoo ideas<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqma3diV0r1qelxgeo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/9484084573http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/9484084573Sat, 27 Aug 2011 22:40:25 -0400frustrated rebus<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqma2i3ZIT1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/9484061945http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/9484061945Sat, 27 Aug 2011 22:39:54 -0400illustrated punchline<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqma0aeCtG1qelxgeo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/9484003432http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/9484003432Sat, 27 Aug 2011 22:38:34 -0400bad tattoo ideas<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpxqzfB4ff1qelxgeo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/8919986624http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/8919986624Sun, 14 Aug 2011 16:45:15 -0400frustrated rebus<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpxofypezi1qelxgeo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/8917799726http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/8917799726Sun, 14 Aug 2011 15:50:22 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lplek1Fax81qelxgeo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/8632693685http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/8632693685Mon, 08 Aug 2011 00:45:37 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmapzwWqqs1qelxgeo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/6198118123http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/6198118123Sat, 04 Jun 2011 22:38:00 -0400fishbad tattoo ideas<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llms96S0K21qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/5758186529http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/5758186529Mon, 23 May 2011 00:24:43 -0400comics<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh4vnaAdfe1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3485914644http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3485914644Thu, 24 Feb 2011 13:06:00 -0500listsbad tattoo ideas<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgy52820cF1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>For Sarah. </p>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3415889516http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3415889516Sun, 20 Feb 2011 21:46:55 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgm91rKCUP1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Happy Valentine’s Day.</p>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3293102538http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3293102538Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:41:51 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgm8r4PIjP1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3293031781http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3293031781Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:35:28 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgm8alDtb21qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3292922493http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3292922493Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:25:33 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgm86xejoU1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3292899166http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3292899166Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:23:21 -0500fashionantlers<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg7spqlAgC1qelxgeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From <a href="http://www.vertical-inc.com/blackjack/" target="_blank">Black Jack</a> vol. 11.</p>http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3150700436http://snortie41.tumblr.com/post/3150700436Sun, 06 Feb 2011 16:22:00 -0500comicsfish
