Tattoo Rule No. 4: The "Skank Flank" Is the New "Tramp Stamp" Caution: The tramp stamp has moved. That's right, the classic tramp stamp above the butt crack has shifted to the side boob area.
It all has to do with following tattoo trends, says Rakovic. "You have to be careful. Like fashion, tattooing goes through hot trends, but unlike clothing you can't sell last year's tattoo to Buffalo Exchange and move on with your life."
Rakovic explains that lower back tattoos were cute in the 90s until they were branded "tramp stamps." The trend nowadays is for women to tattoo down their ribs. "In the elite tattoo community, these are labeled 'skank flanks,'" he says. "It will only be a matter of time before that term is universally known."
