Took the boy and my nephew to a water park yesterday, while they went down the slides and such, I just kind of people watched. I swear it was a freakin' ugly tatoo contest, with multiple winners. I can't imagine how much alcohol I'd have to consume to get one of those. Apparently people believe being a bit uglier will solve their problems or something? Or more likely, I'm just missing the point.

No, you sound surprisingly normal. I think some men consider it manly to have tattoos, but I have no idea what motivates women to do it; especially the scribble just below the waist at the back.

The sad ones are when the lady has her own name tattooed there, so you can't forget... 
They aren't called "tramp stamps" for nothing, I'm afraid.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I seen one that had her name in binary, yes I decoded it to be sure.

But I just had to know what it said

Were you able to scan it using your phone?

nope had to copy every 1 and 0 by hand, good thing her name wasn't that long.
It was actually a Twitter Profile Background image For a InfoSec person.
So I had plenty of time to work it out.

It could have been a bar code that translated to "USDA Prime"

Did you ever check the ventilation holes on the first few generations of Western Digital MyBook external disks? They are morse code.
Or: My first cellular (GSM) phone was a Nokia, back in the days when Nokia was top of the line (or more or less The Entire Line, in some markets). When an SMS text message arrived, it sounded as brief series of beeps. I got this idea that they could have made it sound like 'SMS' in morse code, dug out my old Scouting for Boys book and looked up the morse alphabet. Guess what the Nokia beeps would be if interpreted as morse code...

It was coincidence.
The 0s and 1s were "Timing Instructions" for you 
Or just a kinesthetic way to call her name.
Finally: are you sure her name was "Tramp"? LOL

Thats what we call 'Schlampenstempel'.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Haha, good one. I only knew the expression "Arschgeweih".

In my area it's called 'Arschgeweih'

Arschvignette? Bürzelpalme?

I am with you. I don't have tattoos, but my wife has a couple (not on her back and not in naughty places) and she wants more. I have asked her why she wants them, but it remains a mystery to me.

There's a name for that; it's called a tramp stamp[^].

Our German brethren have a similar term: message above[^], amongst others.

For the ugly ones, at least, it's a way to distract you from looking at their faces.
For the hot babes who you'd want to stare at, anyway, it's just a matter of guiding your eyes to where they want you to look . . .
Or, as you implied, the effect of a drunken stupor in front of the wrong shop at the wrong time.

Oh I imagine I'd get there real quick, even without the tatoos.

I always thought it was how people could set themselves up as unique. The irony being that everyone else gets tatoos . Never understood the things .

Excellent point, very true.
