Inevitably, the Y2K aesthetic fell out of favor - not to mention the word “tramp,” which is steeped in misogyny - and the pendulum eventually swung toward a more minimalist, more covered-up style. But the “tramp stamp,” specifically, became a thing in the late ’90s and early 2000s, when the era’s biggest celebrities - Britney Spears, Aaliyah, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan - all started getting tattoos of butterflies and crosses and such on their lower backs, and flaunting them with fashions of the day like crop tops and low-rise jeans. Men and women have been tattooing their lower backs in one way or another since forever. “But then, probably around 2011, they just stopped.” “When I first started tattooing around 2005, they were quite common,” recalls Pratt-Fusari. Women in particular, he said, are coming in and asking for so-called “tramp stamps” again - more than they have in about a decade. Pratt-Fusari, a tattoo artist at Sacred Tattoo on Broadway, has noticed a resurgence in lower-back tattoos.
