jetwash Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 New guy started at work recently, saw I was browsing LST and said "yeah, I saw your ink..." and I just died.

Graeme Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 If you refer to your tattoos in any way as an "investment" you're even worse with money than I am, and I'm bad at money.

HA HA HA, "man, I hate to do it, but i'm gonna sell my 2 forearm tattoos to pay for my new back tattoo" Good thing that you got nice forearm tattoos that appreciated in value! Because I've spent all this money on tattoos and I can't sell them for shit.

bongsau Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 the latest term that is being used way too freely ..."Gap Filler" Dear tweeners on Instagram: I'm sorry if you can fit a palm sized tattoo in between 2 other palm sized tattoos it is not a "gap filler". It's a tattoo. It's just a tattoo in between some other tattoos. /endrant The Tig, GlaryMilberg, polliwog and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/674-slang-terms-that-make-you-cringe/?page=16#findComment-119953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGarry Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I can't stand hearing 'Trad' 'Neo-Trad' 'Jap' or 'Trad-Jap' (I've heard this more than once) I also can't help but cringe when I hear 'I recently got inked' or 'Nice ink' That shit just irritates the shit out of me!

Gloomy Inks Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I have a really frequent client, female, who comes in and goes, "So. I want a cutie mark." I looked at her and all that could go through my mind was, "You can`t say that in a tattoo shop..." It hurt my mind.

pidjones Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Interesting to hear politically correct nomenclature creep into tattoo culture. I guess it was inevitable.

polliwog Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 People who call tattoos on women "tramp stamps" & think they're using a hilarious and novel insult are the best.

polliwog Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Lately I've noticed that people are expanding its usage beyond just low-back tattoos to legs and arms and whatnot, because people are both stupid and love to insult women, apparently.

You got me pegged, dudes. I am SUCH a ho. The only upside of this being such a common derogatory remark is that now, since I have a handful of tattoos, I get to verbally eviscerate any untattooed idiots that say it when I'm around, and they can't say shit. Never had anybody suggest it about me, personally, but my friends do have excellent survival instincts, as a rule. sourpussoctopus and The Tig 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/674-slang-terms-that-make-you-cringe/?page=16#findComment-120994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NihilNovum Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Heh, i give my sister shit about having a tramp stamp (lower back tribal) all the time but she knows im not really serious im just being a shit. Mostly agree with whats been said in the thread but i dont get the dislike for "trad." Its just short for traditional, whats the problem? Oh well, i try not to care too much about things like these cause they really dont matter and i have plenty of things to get mad about as is. Doesn't mean hearing "sweet ink brah" wont make me immediately think less of a person though...

blujax01 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Typically the slang terms are coined by those who aren't tattooed in order to somehow make themselves feel better (superior?). And from game show hosts like Ladyface Navarro... The latest is "Under boob". It's called the sternum, idiot. So my thigh tattoo is "under sack"? I'm getting too old for this shit...

spookysproul Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 The latest is "Under boob". It's called the sternum, idiot. For the sake of discussion, that area is distinctly below the sternum and should probably be referred to as the diaphragm. You could also go with xiphoid process if you really want to stick with sternum terminology, but it's still even below that.

The latest is "Under boob". It's called the sternum, idiot. So my thigh tattoo is "under sack"? I'm getting too old for this shit... What if it extends all the way across the lower bra line? Would you not consider that "under boob"? I get that the phrase sounds kooky though.
