Question X-wind landings - flapless?

What do people think of intentionally landing flapless in a strong X-wind, especially with fowler flaps?
I just tried it in a C152 and due to a strong headwind component too, and the higher nose attitude of a flapless, I touched down on the tail first!
Mind you, that's what the tie-down ring on the tail is really for, isn't it?
