"Tramp stamps".



The most ignorant, demeaning, male chauvinistic comment I have ever heard is the term, "tramp stamp". Darlings, they are called "Vamp stamps" and "Jag tags".

Girls in the southern suburbs...a class on their own.

Disappointingly, I read an inflammatory website (written by four males) about women's tattoos, referring to them disparagingly as a South Perth bogan slut sign. Speaking to a lawyer, the consensus was that this was almost a 'jihardiist' statement in an age of emancipation. Tattoos have been used by tribes for thousands of years, by both men and women. They have both historical significance and are signs of adornment, bravery and tribe. I hate to break the news to you, but Perth's most skilled  artists and the most educated have been moving to the southern  suburbs in their droves.
