If bearing cellulite-ridden legs weren’t uncool enough, you have an equally tasteless tattoo to match on this girl’s legs. Ribbons with lines drawn downwards starting right below the butt. Jamie voted this tattoo to be the worst she has ever seen and we couldn’t agree more. Imagine wearing longer shorts, you would only see the straight line but not the ribbons. If you like walking around with two lines on the back of your legs, this could very well be the most interesting design for someone aesthetically challenged. We still insist you get rid of your cellulite and get a tan before inking this design on your legs.

it may not be terribly eye catching, but I think the tattoo is suppose to look like the seams of silk stockings. During World War II women couldn’t get the silk stocking because the silk was being used for parachutes amongst other things, so to cover up the fact that their legs were naked they would paint a black line down the back of their legs.
Of course the did tan their legs first...
Who knows maybe this is a crazy symbol of war and female sacrifice!
Or a line with ribbons on the back of a chicks legs...
I’ve seen this else where with the reasoning behind it and while I can not quote anything, I do seem to recall that they are meant to be representative of silk stockings like Andi said. Not everyone can be tan and considering the kind of trash people put on their bodies...this is FAR from the worst tattoo one could get. I call shenanigans on this article. Think of all the badly done portrait tattoos you’ve seen and you’ll probably agree.
As Andi said, in the past young girls would sometimes not be able to find proper stockings and so drew a seam line onto their legs. There was actually a product that was made for rubbing onto the leg to make it appear as if the lady was wearing stockings, but the name escapes me. It is said that you’d have to be pretty careful with it because even the slightest bit of perspiration would make it runny as all hell (could be a huuuge problem at a dance, which would be the prime occasion for its use, paradoxically). An even cheaper solution would be to rub shoe polish onto the legs.
