Exactly.

It's not just the area that makes it a "tramp stamp", it's the style. Lily's tat isn't really a tramp stamp, I'd say, because it wouldn't be completely visible by simply having low-cut jeans and a shorter shirt on. Part of it would be, sure, but it's not designed to draw attention to her ass, like most tramp stamps are. It's the same with cleavage tattoos -- most women that get ink done right above, or on top of, their breasts don't do it because they want people to know how artistic and original they are, they do it because they want to draw attention to their tits.

And that's the only thing I really don't care for. Some, when tastefully done and on the right girl, can be pretty damn hot. But the entire point of a tramp stamp is to draw the eyes to the lower back / upper ass region. On top of that, to show it off, a girl has to wear pants that show part of her ass and/or shirts that show a few inches above her waistband.

It would be like a guy getting a tattoo on his torso somewhere and wearing baggy cut-off sleeveless shirts with giant armholes to show it off.

Are some sexy as hell? Of course. Are most simply trashy-looking? In my opinion, yes. Is there a better location for a tattoo, with more style and originality -- not to mention to appear less like a slut? Undoubtedly.
