Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo

 
Pretty Ripe | Volume 41 - Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo
Woke up feeling really good about myself, until I remembered I have a tramp stamp.
— Nicole Richie, 2012

Are you sitting down? Maybe you should lie down. The lower back tattoo--once misogynistically known as the "tramp stamp"--is back. Over at The Cut, they go deep on the how, what and why. All I can say is that a lower back tattoo is one of the few questionable decisions I did not make in the '90s. Instead, I drunkenly drew my own design (a lopsided daisy) that I had inked just above my right hip in Brooklyn when I turned 25. Happy Birthday to me!
