Khloé Kardashian reveals innocent ‘tramp stamp’ she had to get removed over NSFW meaning
Khloé Kardashian has revealed the one tattoo she had to get lasered off, once she realised it had an X-rated double meaning.
Now, not to sound like someone's mother, but since tattoos are permanent, it's a good idea to research every possible thing associated with whatever you're getting inked on your skin for life.
But in this case, it wasn't exactly Khloé's fault, as the meaning and connotations of the word have somewhat changed since she got the body modification.
The 41-year-old reality TV star was queried about her tattoos during a recent episode of her podcast, Khloé In Wonder Land.

A fan asked the mother-of-two which tattoos she's had lasered off, to which she told the story of an unfortunate 'tramp stamp' that began as a tribute to her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died in September 2003 when she was 19 years old.
Khloé told fans that the tattoo in question was on her lower back, explaining: "I had a tramp stamp. It was the trend at the time. And I got a cross with angel wings, and it says 'Daddy' over it."
Referencing the more recent X-rated meaning of the word, she affirmed: "It was not supposed to be a sexual situation, it was supposed to be an honour of my dad, but being that it was a tramp stamp, it just...
"Like I remember a guy being like 'Who's your daddy?' and I'm like 'Eww'. And then I was like, he's not wrong. It just all clicked to me, so that's being removed, but for good reason."
However, the whole NSFW 'Daddy' double meaning wasn't the only reason - Khloé also chose to laser it off as her mum, Kris Jenner, decided to get a matching one without asking her first.
"It was a cross and that I had first. Then my mom got the matching cross without telling me - a tramp stamp too, and thought it would be funny," she recalled.
Adding: "For some reason, she wrote 'Kendall' and 'Kylie' underneath it. Only, not the four other kids that she birthed. Just those two. She got the tattoo with Nicole Ritchie.
"Nicole thought it was funny, and they came, and they showed me. And I was like, my mom and I have matching tramp stamps. This is horrible, this can't happen."
In fairness, a matching 'tramp stamps' with your mother, not to mention the X-rated connotations of the word now, is a good enough reason to go under the laser.
Discussing her reason for getting the inking in the first place, Khloé explained: "I remember when my dad died, I was like, I don't want a lot of tattoos. And my dad would kill me if he knew about a tattoo.
"But in my sick, rebellious head, I was like, in honour of my dad, I'm gonna get something for him. So I got the angel wings that look like a butterfly and wrote 'Daddy' above the cross."
She confirmed that she's in the process of having 'the whole thing wiped away' and 'you can't see the 'Daddy' anymore, or the angel wings, but you can see little remnants of the ivy that was growing up the cross'.
The reality star added, "But it will be gone soon. It started as one tattoo and kept adding cause I didn't want a lot of tattoos. From the 'Daddy to the matching tramp stamps with my mom, a lot of it was just a big no-no."
