Welcome to Sexual Sundays!

For your consideration: The "Tramp Stamp" Epidural Rumor And Saving Money.

It’s a lazy Sunday for The Money Kings. We’ve been busy with trips and recovering from Valentine’s Day activities enjoyed by guys with money, if you know what we mean. We were talking online about women. You know . . . typical stuff. One of us was talking about how his woman wanted to get a tattoo, and how he didn’t want her to do it because it was a waste of money and it would complicate pregnancy for her later in life. This gave us an idea for our readers—our FEMALE readers

This post is for the ladies, so listen up.

You’re thinking about getting a tattoo on your lower back right above your bottom. You know what we’re talking about. This type of tattoo is commonly referred to on the street as: a tramp stamp , a$$ antlers, a back bull’s-eye, ho tag, Santa Cruz license plate, butt antlers, California license plate, slag antlers, a$$ tag, a booty bro, slag tag, sl*t stamp, stripper tag, whore tattoo OR (simply put) a lumbar tattoo.

These tattoos can cost up to $500 depending on the size and detail required. They’re not cheap! And removal, if it’s even possible, can be 3 times as much. But then again, if you’re thinking of getting a tattoo then you’ve got other motivations besides expense on your mind.

WARNING: The Money Kings definitely don’t recommend getting this type of tattoo. In fact, we’re pretty conservative with our finances (surprise, surprise—The people who show you each day how to save and make money are frugal . . .) and don’t recommend tattoos at all. We realize, however, that sometimes you just gotta have one.

To the credit of all tattoos everywhere, The Money Kings do acknowledge that this ancient form of body ornamentation is something too ingrained in human society to simply deny some sort of basic historical and anthropological respect.

Now that that’s over . . .

You might hear people list the following reasons why not to get a lower back tattoo:

1. They cost too much.
2. They look bad the older you get.
3. They’re painful.
4. Some people might think less of you with the tattoo than without.
5. If you ever get pregnant and want an epidural, then your doctor won’t give you one because the ink from your tramp stamp could get into your spine and cause irreversible neurological damage.

FREEZE!

The Money Kings want you to realize that the first 4 reasons are great reasons not to get a lower back tattoo, especially the first. We still don’t understand why anyone would spend money on a body decoration? We’d respect you more if you just did it yourself.

Regardless of who takes on the task of crafting your body art, the 5th reason is an urban legend.

Always remember to talk to your doctor about your lower back tattoo before considering an epidural for your childbirth experience, but know that the rumor itself is no reason to save money on not getting a tattoo. From what we can tell, the myth is not true UNLESS your tattoo is still in its healing stages. And the likelihood that a pregnant woman would sit for a tramp stamp far enough into her pregnancy to be near the time of an epidural is pretty slim.

For more information on this subject, just search PubMed (a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health). A simple search for “lumbar tattoo” will get you all the proof you need.

Happy Tattooing!
