Tramp Stamps, aka...?

Posted by Colleen Kane

You learn something new every day. While perusing an item on Gunaxin, regarding how Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Danica Patrick's tramp stamp (a most ill-advised morph of an American flag into a checkered flag) had been Photoshopped out, I learned of some international terms for the tramp stamp.

Australia, Germany, and Netherlands: "arse antlers"

UK: "slag tags"

Another American term: "California licence plates."

What, no "splattoo"? That works for both men and women. Then there's the really ill-advised frontal tramp stamp on men, but the nickname for those escapes me, and I couldn't find it online: Chump stamp?

Are there any other pet names for this marking?

I've always used 'slag tag' and 'tramp stamp'. Now I'll add 'arse antlers' to my vernacular. Thanks, Colleen!
