... on ladies (sic), known as "tramp stamps" one understands .....
I believe the Celtic / tribal scrolls that are often seen to adorn the lower back are also referred to as "arse antlers"
Perhaps someone could explain to me (as an ex-ranker) just how a tattoo adversely affects some ones ability to be a leader?
It doesn't - or shouldn't unless they are completely OTT and either impact on credibility or reputation. But I have to say I have yet to see any that look half decent, with many looking like the original design was done by an uncoordinated navvy with a blunt wax crayon and which will only get worse over time as the ink fades and blurs and the person gets saggier and wrinklier. That's especially the case on a pretty girl - I've yet to meet one who didn't look better before being stamped.
