Hot or Not: Tramp Stamps

“Tramp Stamp” is the somewhat derogatory term for a tattoo on the lower back, right about the individual’s ass crack. Former Project Runway contestant Jack Mackenroth got a few reactions yesterday for his butt ink, so we’re guessing the answer to this Hot or Not question is a big, resounding “N-O”.

But somebody has to be into these, right? All male tramp stamps can’t be the result of some drunken college mistake. There’s obviously some logic for their existence in this world, and we’re determined to get to the bottom of this. No pun intended… So what do you say? Are you one of those rare folks who’s actually turned on by tramp stamps on other men? Let us know in the comments.

  1. not hot, no place to vote…. but of course the guys above have great asses, so the last thing I’d look at would be their tramp-stamp…. but on the average ass (like the guy on the post before the jump), it looks gross, specially when paired with love handles…

  2. I’m generally not against tattoos, but tramp stamps are a bit too distracting. They’re also very college/sorrority girl like. It kinda takes away from the hotness of a guy’s ass (and Jack has an amazing ass btw)

  3. I’ll agree with that one. I go straight to the hot ass anyway, so it’s not like i’m paying to the tattoo. I think if it’s well done, then yeah, they can pull it off. But if it’s tacky or not tasteful, then heck no.

    And Rod Daily and Jack Mackenroth are both hot enough that it doesn’t matter anyway!

  4. tatoos are a trend..and gay guys gotta want and do what everyone else is doin or has..I HAVE TO ADMIT SOME GUYS look really hot and it adds to their charisma..but for the most part..generic clones…that need to SEE what their tattos and body art is going to look like in their late 50’s on up..gonna pass here

  5. Regardless if they are hot or not the German term for tramp stamp is “ass antlers” which is hysterical. 

  6. Tramp stamps are trashy for sure, but no deal breaker. I kinda hope these tramp stamps were bad decisions made either while drunk or a teenager.

  7. I got to admitt that I am always turn on by tatoos, no matter where they are put on. It is a plus if it is on the back.

    I also have to say that I prefer it to be on the upper side of the back or along the column. But Rod Dailys tramp Stamp I don´t mind at all. He is just way too hot!!!

  8. to each his own i dont care if its yummy like honey the enjoy it u know most important thing to me is if that smells like sanitation there is gonna be no penetration just some masterbation if its bugg free then its for me

  9. “Tramp stamps” is certainly a perfect name as they go only on tramps and trash.  Not hot AT ALL.

  10. All depends on the tatt.  Some are great.  But they often contour very specifically to a body–and bodies change with age.  Would LOVE to see the front side of the guy in the sixth pic after the jump.

  11. well I have to say if you go with the flow and just get to get it is not hot but if the tat has a meaning to you and you are proud of it no matter how old you are at any age it is sexy and a turn on I have a tribal thunder bird on my back and tramp stamp of a texas long horn and a sheriffs badge on my chest soon i am proud of my western background and my native american up bringing and my Middle name is Thomas my last name is Bird Nickname has been cowboy and T-Bird so the thunder bird is after my father and my nickname and the sheriffs badge is for cowboy and the texlong horn is for my texas roots so i am very proud of them and makes me feel sexy and told it dose

  12. If you’ve got a great ass it speaks for itself. You don’t need a tattoo to draw attention to it. People are going to notice. I get compliments on my ass all the time and I’ve been asked before if I would ever get a “tramp stamp” and I always respond with “Would you put a bumper sticker on a Bentley? I don’t think so.”

  13. I think they are hot as I have one myself!! but must say that some do look rather odd if they are slightly out of place (e.g. too high or too low!!)

  14. I  find tramp stamps like most senseless tribal tattoos stupid and tacky.  

    A tattoo should be something significant that means something to you, not some collection of random senseless black lines scribbled all over an otherwise beautiful body, as if drawn on someone buy an epileptic turkey holding a Sharpie! 

  15. I think tattoos are great when well done and in an appropriate area, but tramp stamps rarely look good. I definitely think there are certain parts of the body that aren’t aesthetically pleasing to get inked and the region above your asscrack is number one. Like the reader above said, if the ass is great why would you want to distract from it?

  16. If a tramp stamp is done with class and understated, then I see nothing wrong with it. If it’s above a great ass, it’s like the top of a Christmas Tree. Wouldn’t you want to curl up under something like that and wait for Santa to cum down his chimney? I would.

  17. Remember that if you don’t have the body for it don’t do it.  As we get older the body tends to sag

    I’d  like to see a tramp stamp on a 65 year olds body LOL………  

  18. I GOT A TRAMP STAMP AND I AM A 50 YEAR OLD MALE WITH A HOT ASS, I GOT IT A YEAR AGO.  MINE IS A SIGN THAT SIMPLY SAYS “HUSBAND WANTED,  APPLY WITHIN.   AND HAS AN ARROW POINTING DOWN.  I GET A LOT OF COMMENTS AND GREAT REACTIONS TO IT.  I SAY LIVE LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW AND IF YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT THEN WHAT THE HELL.

  19. I’ve never seen the appeal of them on guys…the only one I wouldn’t do a double take on is the model from Dirty Tony…tramp stamps are just…not my bag…but it wouldn’t be a deal-breaker, I’d just poke fun at them for a bit.

  20. I hate tattoos that have no meaning. If they are just there cause it looks cool, I see no point. If I get a tat, it will be of something that’s very important to me.

  21. a tat is like any thing on a person…on some it wks on others it doesnt…now as to a bottom boi with a sweet tastey ass that is made to eat n fuck the tat just adds to the effect …fucked many boiholes with and without a tat …the hole is the thing i want…the tat is just decoration…

  22. So all of these guys are trash…. Never ceases to amaze me how judgmental gay men can be when those same gay men DEMAND not to be judged by anyone else. Hypocrites.

  23. as a top, i like them, some are not tasefull in my eyes but it matters to the person who the stamp is on…. if we all liked the same thing, wouldn;t we all be clones?

    The general disgust the comes from the manhunt readers continue to surprise me, its their way or the highway, once can voice an opinion without it reaking of vapid vile sentiments

  24. It all depends upon the tramp and the stamp. The 4th one after the jump could have been stamped “USDA Prime Grade A Beef”!  That’s a fucking hot ass baby…stamp or not.

  25. You don’t have to shout your opinion…. We can all read without all caps. I would like to thank you tho for stating that it is an opinion. Wish more guys on here would realize that what they say most of the time is just that… Opinion, not fact…
    In my opinion, it doesn’t matter one way or the other. Some have stated that the tats should only be put on the body if there is meaning behind the tat… My question is…. How do you know that the “tramp stamp” doesn’t have significant meaning to the individual who had it put on themselves? Those statements just don’t hold water, in my opinion.

  26. art is totally subjective. and an anchor and a flower with Mum on it from WW II is retro sweet and has meaning, on many guys who did it. I don’t like this adamant disgust people have for other’s choices for ANY reason.
    I’m with the school of ‘if you’re over 18 – age of consent – you can do whatever you want with your body.’ I have no judgement about it. I like tattoos. I like the guts that goes into a person deciding to make that commitment.

    And they can be partially or fully removed. And I know 60 year olds who’s asses don’t sag at all, quite the opposite and w/o drugs or steroids.

    The youth that have never fought for anything more then an on sale cashmere sweater at Bergdorfs, … know know their own history. That is sad! They didn’t fight for anything much as I see it, or the bullying they endured just made them bitter very early on.

    We didn’t all make it out alive from battles in pursuit of gay rights in the 60’s and 70’s. We nursed loved ones and lose too many in the 80’s to the present… Man you don’t know your history?

    Gay today is so sadly shallow in part due to the lack of awareness and pride people forgot to learn along the way in life.

    In the last 40 years I think a ton of people are having a lot less fun. So I’d like to gay – only by test of attitude and life lessons learned, love shared and hearts broken healed and re opened again from experience. Innocence takes balls.

    Often it’s a society of extreme body culture of hypermasculinity that is so extreme that it’s built only on the value that bigger is better. And that’s ok.

    I’m not that way inclined and I’m still happy.

    Perhaps marketing got into seeing the disposable income gays have – after using the women to beat down their self-esteem – and decided to exploit gays for the cash – trends, the makeup, the fashion, the accessories, the body image, – well – the inner is what I’ve loved in men every time.

    My great loves in life have had 6 – 12 inches, rounded bellies and flat, handsome and ‘distinguished’, rich and poor. But not one had such hardcore hatred and fierce judgments as TATS ARE SO FEM or GAY. What the hell is that crap all about?
    Nasty negativism, fear of change, mostly fear of aging. I’m gay because I am happy and living my dreams, then creating new ones.

    I loved the german term ass antlers – that’s funny. I’m loving the whole craze! Remember when only sailors who had been around the HORN had earrings and daring gay men? As soon as it got popular I took mine out!

    Now I know a lot of straight metrosexual men with tats and earrings – so let’s lighten up and call a handsome man with a beautiful ass, tattoo’d or not – something to eat breakfast off of – and to celebrate – a handsome man with a great ass. The rest – so silly. I had to write to say – there is a reason bi and some gay men are out of the scene. It becomes painful to experience gay pop culture’s superficiality and harmful judgements. I thought we could life our dreams and celebrate being gay after we survived high school without offing ourselves in dispair. I don’t need to or not need to be gym built, coiffed perfectly and fashioned. I’m never afraid of aging, but i’m terrified of the ageism in our culture.

    not young enough, not rich enough, nor interested, thanks. How about being happy. Who’s happy just because they are grateful to be alive? I’ve buried 50 friends in 30 years. DAMN I’M ALIVE AND SO SO GRATEFUL. And when I see posts like these – I walk on by – … and yet today – I had to say – come on, let’s take some of the air out of your inflated egos and let people do, feel, think and enjoy anything they wish to enjoy without such fevered disgust and judgement. You suck the entire soul of being gay out of life. Let’s get back to live and let life and living well is its own reward. Whether others have tats that rate 1 – 10 is hardly a topic for MORE judgement. Live it up, forget your troubles come on get happy! Or I’ll be taking names and email addy’s and I’m taking away your gay membership cards!

  27. I am not a fan of the tramp stamp, but am perfectly willing to examine the evidence to further my decision! A cute butt is a cute butt!

  28. and in my college educated, tattooed, non trailer living opinion, you’re a bigoted, judgmental waste of flesh. 
    Don’t like tattoos, don’t get one, but don’t stereotype those of use that choose to adorn OUR bodies with ink!

  29. I just wonder what they will look like when the recipient of said tramp stamp is closing in on 75.  Tattoos are permanent evidence of youthful stupidity…

  30. Hi sabazius25,

    Good good point.It is so rare to read so argued comment. I totally agree. I’m also terrified by this ageism not only in our culture but also in our society. I live in France and in most companies you are fired when you are more than 55 yo. I’m 37 and I’m already in the category of “old gay” !

  31. as with any other position for a tattoo, it all depends on context and artistry. the last guy on the list has a hot tatt, that just happens to be just above his ass.  same with the second after the jump… most of the others are boring-ass tatts … and would be regardless of their proximity to the ass itself.  :p

  32. I totally agree with sabazius25, why was this question even posted by Manhunt? they should be working to unite the gay community, not further separate us by bitchy, childish opinions,, tattoos are tattoos, i dont like them all, but i would never ristrict any individual from expressing themselves by being inked wherever on their body or any piercings wherever they may be also. for fucks sake there are far bigger issues we all could be discussing, and fighting fro, ie the discrimination and murder of gays in many countries on the planet!!!!

  33. Very hot! I love tramp stamp tattoos on hot girls and guys. Trashy maybe, but all tattoos are really no matter where their location. Some people say a tattoo should be something meaningful to the owner since they have to live with it. I say bullshit! A tattoo needs to damn sexy cause all the world will be looking at it and judging you regardless.

    If my wife wasn’t such a conservative prude, we’d both have tramp stamps and navel piercings .

  34. first…luv ink…period….second if it frames a HOTT tastey ass under the stamp…HELL YES…eat n fuck the hell out of it…have done men with stamps…gives u something to read at times while doggy plowing a tite boihole…
