Are Moms Actually Livid Over Tattoo Barbie?
LatestMattel has released Totally Stylin’ Tattoos Barbie, with”40 fun tattoo stickers” for the doll — and for kids — and if certain papers are to be believed, people are freaking the fuck out.
The Guardian‘s tongue-in-cheek story about the new Barbie is titled, “A Tattoo That Spells The End Of Civilisation.” Mother-of-three Colleen Pope, from Bournemouth, UK, tells The Daily Mail: “Tattoos are common and if it leads girls to get one, they might regret it for the rest of their lives. It is dumbing right down — Barbie should be at the high end of fashion, not the chav end. Whatever will they bring out next? Drug-addict Barbie? Alcoholic Barbie?”
