Huh. I don't quite see the point of it still, but there you go. I wouldn't tag it as a worst-ever design, but it's not interesting enough for me to wonder what's the point of (even nice) furniture tattooed on one's body.

For those of us not well-versed in office furniture, what is the significance of an Eames chair?

Thank you for asking that, ita. I was just about to ask, myself.

Huh.

I hate the moniker "tramp stamp" for a lower-back tattoo. (1) Because women's lower backs are lovely, and a well-done tattoo looks fantastic there. (2) *I* have a lower-back tattoo, and I got it to cover up my surgery scar -- it has *nothing* to do with providing decoration for all the guys to whom my tattoo says "Fuck me in the ass!!!"

(Seriously, *do* guys really think that's what a woman's lower-back tattoo means?)

Maybe it'd be cool if it was some anthropomorphisized furniture, running into battle while holding a sword over its head.

Hmmm... couldn't find any such images on google....

Wait, what?

*do* guys really think that's what a woman's lower-back tattoo means?

From what I can tell, even if it doesn't mean that, it makes many guys think that. However, I have not been able to discern what else (like, say, just seeing a woman from behind) makes these same guys think that too.

I think the furniture tats are going to remain in the "okay, whatever" realm for me. They're too...I don't know. I don't think they look nice, and the jump to meaning is too far for me to make with the wearer.

I don't expect anyone else to dig my tat, so it's not a condemnation of any sort.

From Wiki:

Beginning in the late 1990s the 'lower back tattoo', known in slang as a "tramp stamp", "ass antlers,"[1] or the "back-door bullseye" 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 especially the west, they remain an object of derision in some quarters. Detractors consider such tattoos in this location as suggestive of promiscuity and an indication of Raunch Culture.[2]

What is "Raunch Culture" and why does it get capitalized?

I was just going to ask that, tommy!
