I think the new barbie is pretty cool and unique. Although, there are parents who aren't too happy about it.

hah, that's a VERY clever way of stating your
opinion! kudos man ;)

pink hair and tattoos won't ruin her life.
watch out for the "15 and pregnant" barbie.

it could always be worse, ya know.

Well, when they start putting piercings through her eyelids and lips we know people are gonna shout out about it.

well, finally, little miss perfect barbie is joining the rest of the world, being what she wants to be without worrying about her politically, religously correct image.  i personally don't want tattoos, but i have no problem with you if thats the way you want to express yourself :notworthy:

I suppose Barbie has done everything else. I'm interested in looking at it.  It probably should be reserved for older children though. If someone wants to get a tattoo it should be wholly their own decision, not because Barbie did it. Unfortunately some kids are like that, so parents would have to decide in the end whether thats appropriate for their family or not. :binkybaby:

Utterly RIDICULOUS.

This is another example of retail ideas that profit on the human characteristic of collecting or completing 'sets' of objects.

It is just staying with the teen fads. I wouldn't buy one for my niece though.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with changing the look of Barbie.  The doll was "unrealistic" in appearance anyway but this latest version just reflects the overall culture of society today.  Seems perfectly appropriate.

I've seen it, and I like it. If it wasn't so expensive, I would let my daughter have one. I have friends like that in real life, why can't a Barbie be like that?
Title: Re: New Barbie Doll Has Tattoos
Post by: tzs on November 02, 2011, 08:32:39 pm
People who have tattoos kinda have their own way of thinking, their own tribe so to speak. I dont think there is anything wrong with this.

Wonderful, why don't they just put a whisky bottle in one hand and a pack of cigarettes in the other, won't people regret getting these when they are older, just like taking up smoking or drinking. Shame on Mattel.

Doesn't surprise me, but it kinds sad, everybody want to be like Barbie though...

I hate the new skank Barbie. Barbie was always classy until now. I think Mattel has lost it's toy making mind. I don't want to see loose morals and disrespectful behavior promoted in young girls. I don't want to witness the generation of young women who will have played with skank Barbie. :angry7: :angry7: :angry7:

pink hair i can deal with but a barbie with tattoos is dumb. it's like making a barbie of the singer pink.

They are pushing the envelope more and more these days. Why would little girls be interested in tattoos anyway? These freaks are trying to pervert the children.

i was perfectly fine with the way barbie looks. my barbies dont have tattoos and i never had a barbie with pink hair or a pregnant barbie.

u think they will ever make a transexual barbie or gay ken doll lol

Post by: masonmisty on November 05, 2011, 05:47:08 pm
they have almost every other type of barbie why not one with a tatoo or two? i myself would rather see my daughters playing with a barbie with a tat than a barbie that has a baby in the belly..... tatoos are a form of art and i myself would by my daughters the new barbie as long as they understand what a tat is and not the sterotyping that comes from it.

they were talking about putting out a doll where kids try to breast feed it...(not sure if it ever happened or not)...no reason why barbie cant have inkings i guess?

I couldn't have said it better. What they need to do is make a Barbie with an extra 25 pounds so she looks like how a normal woman should.

It's kind of funny --- pink hair and tattoos

Let's face it ... they are going to make what sells and if the new
barbie sells like hot cakes they will definitely keep making them.

I guess Mattel feels they need to keep up with the ever changing times.

I am sure they still make the classic clean cut Barbie.   Ultimately the parents
will have to be the responsible person to buy the right Barbie for their child.

The new Barbie doesn't really appear to be that bad.  If you don't approve of the way she is, then don't buy her.

I much prefer pink-haired, tattooed barbie to this "real-life barbie".

Aren't Barbies for little girls?  As far as I know, one can't get a tattoo until they are an adult!
Let the kids be little and sweet for as long as possible.  The tats, piercings, boys, etc... will come all too soon.
Barbie in general isn't a true reflection of how a woman really looks.  I don't have girls, thank goodness, but I think
they should play with baby dolls that are sweet and cute! :bunny:

I think this is getting out of line. Kids are growing up to fast as it is. Why can't they just let dolls be dolls and not add all this stuff to them.

haven't seen this yet. known of my kids have ever really been into Barbie so i don't pay much attention to her.

I don't have any Tattoos myself BUT I believe It's everyone's choice to do whatever they want. If a female decides to get a Tattoo then go for It. In my opinion having a Tattoo does NOT make a female less attractive.

Too funny!  Next Barbie will have Guages, pearced body parts, botoxed lips, enhancements, and bad hair jobs!  Have you seen the Saturday Night Live Skit with Cougar Barbie?  Cougar Barbies trap young men in their house as they perform pole dances!  Cougar Barbies are forty something carnivores looking for action from young, unsuspecting young men!  Totally cracked me up!  My wife falls into the cougar category and she laughed till she had tears in her eyes.  I think that it is a really popular Youtube video if you have the time and want a good laugh.  Mattel is going off the charts on this one!

Barbie dolls now have tattoos? Man, how time has changed dramatically...Maybe the dolls today cater to the young demographic these days or young teenagers?

They always said go out and find yourself a doll to have a good time.  I think this is taking that phrase to the limit.

Huh...I'm not against that kind of Barbie, to each their own, but if I had a daughter, I don't think I would buy it for her.  She would have plenty of time to learn about tattoos without her dolls being plastered with them.

Aww, I think she's cute and whoever (parents) are against it I think are encouraging discrimination and discouraging uniqueness.

I dont think that this Barbie is wrong for children. If I had girls I would buy it for them. Lots of people have Tattoos these days.

Lots of people smoke crack. Lots of unwed mothers. Can't wait for the pregnant Barbie with pipe.

(pipe and maternity clothing optional)

LMAO.  These companies will go to any length to make a buck.  Barbie with tattoos.  They probably are big sellers too.  Supply and demand is what its all about.
