ass antlers

n. (from German Arschgeweih)

  1. A tattoo on the lower back.

In the above poster for the movie John Tucker Must Die, you can see a lower back tattoo, often referred to by its colloquial name, the tramp stamp. According to Wikipedia, there’s a German slang term for lower back tattoos — Arschgeweih — which means “ass antlers”, which is probably derived from the fact that these tattoos have a barbed style and look like anters when they stick out from underneath low-rise jeans, which the young ladies seem to favour these days. —Joey deVilla, “The ‘First Corinthians’ Tramp Stamp”
