    What about piercings, other than ears? Do those make you a tramp?

    I personally think the term "tramp" has become so overused as to be practically meaningless these days. I even hear teenagers calling each other "tramp" in a joking way with each other. It seems it's a term that's gone mainstream, and I just can't get worked up about it like I might have 15 years ago.
    Hey, at least it's still way less offensive than the term "ho".

    uh, at the risk of being in the minority here, I think it's that a design intended to lead the viewer's eyes into the tatt-ee's pants is exhibitionist, to say the least.
    All tattoos are exhibitionist, that's part of what makes tattoos intriguing and fascinating. They are "exhibited", -intended to be seen on the skin (either by the general public or by a private viewer).

    I don't have a problem with those tatts, but I definitely think they're overtly sexual in a way that most men's tatts are not. A few, but not most.
    People decide how sexual/sensual or non-sexual/sensual their tattoo designs are going to be. Everyone likes different things. People expose more or less areas of skin, tattooed or not. There are limits in our society- such as you can't walk around with your genitals exposed, tattooed or not! :-D I find it all fascinating, but never offensive.
