Today, I met my brother's girlfriend. We got talking, and we got onto the subject of tattoos. I said how much I hated tramp stamps, and how they make girls look trashy. She said, "Like this?" and showed me hers. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss asked me if I know anything about those tattoos that girl put on their lower backs. "You mean Tramp Stamps?" I responded. He looked at me with hatred in his eyes and said that his 18 year old daughter just got one. FML
Today, my brother saw my side when my shirt came up, and asked when I got a tattoo; the pink he saw was in fact my stretch marks. Worst of all, I had to show them to everyone to prove I didn't actually get a tattoo. FML
Today, I was struggling through small-talk at a party where I knew nobody. Tattoos came up and I started talking about trendy, girly tattoos like feathers, anchors and infinity signs with stupid words in them. Turns out the girl I was talking to had all three. FML
Today, my mom asked me if I would be embarrassed if she got a tramp stamp. FML
Today, I decided I was going to dump my needy girlfriend. I was about to break the news when she stopped me. She showed me her new tattoo she had gotten. Our names, surrounded by a love heart spread across her back. She reckons I should get a matching one. FML
Today, despite my warnings and knowing I hate them, my wife got a trashy tattoo of an eye on her ankle, like she’s Count Olaf. How is she going to get a job with that thing? FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I finally met my daughter's boyfriend. He has a face tattoo. FML
Today, my girlfriend had a bitch fit at me because I laughed at her idea of getting the Cullen family tree tattooed on her back. FML
Today, my wife knows tattoos are a huge turnoff for me. She decided the best way to change my mind about them would be to get one. Across her neck. Of our dog's name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's not like you knew she had one and you were saying that to hurt her feelings. Unless you were, in which case you're a dick

You have nothing to apologize for. They only serve as a **** target, as far as I'm concerned.

FFS. OP, it's not your damn business where a girl gets a tattoo. It wouldn't even be your damn business if she happened to be your girlfriend. She can get one wherever she wants. It's her body. Also what do you mean by "trashy"? Do you mean that she has a lot of sex? Because if she does, so what? That's her choice too. It's your opinion that you don't like tattoos. That's fine. (although it seems to just be the 'tramp stamp' that you have a problem with). But making other people feel bad for the choices they make about their body? Not okay. I say 'other people', but I doubt anybody would suggest that a tattoo makes a man look like a 'tramp'. Which is kind of a big part of the problem here.

While I agree with the overall sentiment, I don't find the gender double standard applicable here. I doubt I'm the only person who finds the "naked lady on the bicep" look less than appealing. When every fml features one of these comments, it kinda diminishes the double standard as a real issue.

I didn't say that people don't have negative opinions about tattoos on men, just that they wouldn't call them words like "tramp", "****" or "*****" because of it and it probably wouldn't be associated with them being promiscuous (especially since promiscuity in straight men is generally seen as way more positive than it is with women)

A tramp stamp on a man makes that man look like a tramp, or at the very least a d-bag.

Well you couldn't have known. Maybe she won't take it too seriously.

Theyre really not trashy. I strongly believe its what you have tatted in that spot, rather than the spot itself.

Tramp Stamps are called that for a reason, and have been so for longer than most who have them now have been alive. When I've been in the same situation, I do say "yep, like that! See ya!" and walk off.

Just so you know there are some of us, maybe not her, that got tattoos in those spots before they were coined that because it was/is a good spot. Don't judge.

She deserved it. lol

I'm willing to bet that a good majority of the people voting YDI have a tramp stamp themselves.
