Tokidoki, the latest scandal ridden doll from Mattel, is being shunned by some parents, because they believe this "Tattoo Barbie" encourages girls to get tattoos...
Now, I personally do not prefer tattoos for myself or my family, but that Tattoo Barbie is sportin my favorite hairstyle a bob...Tattoo Barbie's bob is pink with a slight fringe of bangs at her brow... Tokidoki's fashion statement leans toward gothic with her skull and bones black top and black nail polish...Regarding the tattoos, they are pretty designs in pink, black and white on her chest, neck and shoulders...It's almost as though Tattoo Barbie is channeling her inner Kat Von D...Minus Kat Von D's raven colored tresses/hair of course...
Mattel says that this Tattoo Barbie is being marketed for the adult collector's market...
So unless your teenager is more inclined toward Barbie than say for instance deciding on what will be her homecoming hairstyle...I wouldn't be too worried...She's probably growing out of doll play for now...But perhaps when she's old enough to be surfing the www for weight watchers online, then maybe she will happen to peruse the barbie collector's online catalog and stumble upon Tokidoki, aka Tattoo Barbie (crazy scenario, I know)...Because she is not available in stores...This Tattoo Barbie is strictly in the collector's market...
