The current hot topic at the moment is the Tokidoki Tattooed Barbie. This doll features several large tattoos, pink hair, a trendy outfit, and a cute little dog.
Unlike the other dolls, these tattoos are not stickers. They are permanent tattoos on the doll. Many girls love this doll because she is trendy and quite cute. And I’m sure alot of little girls want this costly Barbie under the Christmas tree this year. But is she sending the wrong message to kids?
Personally, I think it’s fine for adults to get tattoos, but children??? I have nothing against tattoos, but I don’t think it’s sending kids a good message to let them play with a tattooed Barbie doll. I don’t care if the tattoo is a dog, or a swear word. I don’t like it. I don’t think that letting kids choose at such a young age if tattoos are right or wrong is ok. I understand that it’s up to the parent to decide, but I still think it’s a little much. They are kids. Let them be kids and leave the adult issues out of it!!!!
Whatever happened to a career Barbie? It’s bad enough that most Barbies don’t even look REAL and that they wear micro-mini skirts and too much makeup, but we think that they have gone too far!
What about you? Is this Barbie inappropriate or do you think it’s trendy and cool?
