It IS ideal. But I dithered a lot before I put my spiral there because of the casual misogyny. I think if it had been a more horizontal image, I wouldn't have at all.
Yep, this. I fully intend my next tattoo to be on my lower back, but every time I tell someone that and they joke about me wanting a tramp stamp, it makes me cringe. I also dislike wife beater because of my work as a domestic violence crisis counselor. Seeing real life beaten wives makes any reference to them painful to me. I mostly let it go if I hear it being used, but I try never to use it myself.

Poor Bonny! Healing-ma to you.
I had never heard the term tramp stamp until HIMYM, and based on that episode I assumed it meant a tattoo that a guy gets talked into getting by a date while drunk. As in the tramp had stamped him with a tattoo.
Tramp stamp was definitely around before HIMYM. I thought it was funny in that episode because so much of their humor is irreverent and tied to popular culture, but it bugs me IRL.

I figured it was a term that had been around before, but I was commenting on the fact that I got the wrong idea about what it referred to in the episode.
Yay for Drew going home!
sj, didn't mean to direct my comment solely at you. I think it's hysterical you thought that's what it meant.
My brain is occasionally a strange place.
