"I would say in general most people who get tattoos are in their early 20s, so all tattoos gear toward a younger clientele," New York City-based tattoo artist who goes by Fifth Not Sixth tells PEOPLE. "I would also say I have personally noticed an uptick in tramp stamps as of late. I think there’s a cyclical nature to what we find 'cool.' Something is cool until it's overdone, then when it's been 'uncool' for long enough it becomes cool again."
Fellow New York artist Francesca agrees with the assessment on the age bracket, saying that all the ones she has done have also been on Gen Z and younger millennials.
Tattoo apprentice Hannah Hahn of Ohio tells PEOPLE that not only has she seen a resurgence in tramp stamps, but clients have been "reclaiming" the term, which used to have negative connotations.
"I’ve noticed a lot of younger women are interested in lower-back tattoos," she says. "I eventually plan on getting one myself! I’ve also noticed a lot of people don’t mind the term tramp stamp as much anymore."
