Does this Tattoo above my *ss, look like a Tramp Stamp?!


For the record, I don't have a tatt above my ass.

Unfortunately, we are living in a society, where tattoos have become a growing trend. Many associate tattoos on a woman as being promiscuous. I can assure you, that is not the case! Well, at least not in this case. I know plenty of women/girls who are without ink, and who are just as promiscuous. Tattoos have nothing to do with 'The Slut Factor'.

In fact, out of retaliation, I may just get a tatt on my lower back! Ha!

See, for some of us, tattoos actually have some sort of symbolism or meaning to them. We aren't all looking to be trendy.

Personally, I have 4 tattoos. They range from small to medium in size. Each of them have a meaning. Except for my first one (located on my lower left calf). It was suppose to be a Pointsettia as I was born in December. I could have put a bit more thought into that one.

I have a 'D' for my son Dorian (located on my inner, right wrist). I see it every day, it's simple and I know what it stands for.

I have a twig-like cross (located on my inner, left wrist). I struggled with this one for weeks before I settled on its design.

A typical, Latin Cross is symbolic of the Cross on which Christ was Crucified. I wanted my cross to symbolize Nature and Religion together.
At this time in my life, I looked towards the similarities between Paganism and Christianity.

Paganism is a very Natural, rustic belief in Polytheism and mythological rituals. I won't go on further with this particular topic......

The last tattoo I have, is a Scarab Beetle (located on my inner, right arm).

Ancient Egyptians had a marvelous Culture and Belief system. I often find myself referencing them when researching science, beauty care, religion and rituals. They have paved the way for many of our Rituals/traditions today.

I have a thing for Amulets: a small talisman symbolizing beneficent power, and is worn for protection and strength.

The Ancient Egyptians also believed in the power of Amulets. Scarab Beetles were considered Powerful Amulets. They were sacred and associated with the God of the rising Sun (Khepri). They represented regeneration, immortality and devine wisdom.

So remember, the next time you see a woman tattooed, it doesn't mean that your chances of getting laid are bumped up a notch. It doesn't mean that she is not religious. And, if you use the term 'Tramp Stamp' you may get kicked in the nuts! .......Just Sayin'


Cheers,

Sig.
