On one hand, I'm getting kinda sick of people believing and telling their kids that tattoos are the end-all of evil and rebellion. It's art, for crying out loud. Get over it.
But on the other hand, I don't think kids should be encouraged to get tattoos ever (must be their choice and theirs alone) and certainly not until they are adults. So giving them a doll that they idolize with tattoos, well, that's a bit too encouraging, in my opinion.
But could it possibly be any worse than Bratz dolls? Those were targeted for young girls also, and had scantily-clad, fish-lipped, hair-dyed dolls that were, well, brats. Not exactly a charming roll model for tween kids.
There's also been Puppy Surprise and Kitty Surprise toys for young girls. I had one of those. You get a small stuffed dog or cat with a stomach velcroed shut. Rip the velcro open and you get kittens or puppies. xD
And then there's the fake kitchens and brooms/vacuums. Those could be looked at as sexist toys.
And just about every doll nowadays has makeup on. Lolz.
I don't know, I just can't get riled up over a couple tattoos when there's so many worse things for kids out there, and when I don't even believe that tattoos are a bad thing. On a child's toy, they may be inappropriate. But there's a hell of a lot of stuff inappropriate about lots of kids' toys.
