"Totally Stylin' Tattoo Barbie" Inspires Our Own Beautiful Tattoo Designs

"Totally Stylin' Tattoo Barbie" has hit stores, much to the chagrin of parents who don't appreciate the act of getting a lower back tattoo bearing your boyfriend's name. Good for maintaining an owner/possession relationship AND good for target practice. Two birds? Meet this stone. Here at Guanabee, we love tattoos and have our own suggestions for how to spice up Barbie's tat collection. The doll comes with her own tattoos, including the aforementioned Stampe des Trampes, and a toy tattoo gun that allows little girls (or little boys who like butterfly tats) to stamp tattoos all over her body and clothes. Unfortunately for Barbie, the designs are pretty generic. Luckily, your Guanabee editors have come up with better alternatives. Cindy, who has seven lower back tattoos, all of David Archuleta in various compromising positions (Don't lie, Cindy.), came up with these two totally stylin' suggestions for Barbie:

"Straight outta Malibu" bitches! The perfect message to send right before Ken puts an Inglewood in your Monte Nido.

"Kiss my ass, Skipper!" Because, seriously, that heffa is so plastic. Tangent: Look at the right side of this image. Is Barbie about to get donkey punched? Disturbing. Alex, who enjoys speaking about herself in the third person, created two of her own designs:

When you don't have genitalia, you need to rely on lots of hearts and curly-Q's to really assert your femininity.

Truth in advertising. She was originally going to get this done in Chinese characters, but was afraid it'd end up saying something like, "Concubine Condom Dance." Hot, right?

'Tattoo Barbie' Just Latest in Long Line of Trashy Barbie Dolls

he new Tokidoki 'Tattoo' Barbie is getting lots of negative press.

Apparently, some parents are up in arms about the fact that this version of the doll has quite a lot of permanent ink on her neck and shoulder.

I consider this to be much ado about nothing.

Barbie has been tarting it up for years.

WHERE HAVE THESE PARENTS BEEN?!

This latest Tattoo Barbie is NOTHING compared to some of the dolls Mattel has released over the last 20 years. Yes, some have been created for adult collectors, but not all of them.

Click through to see a list of some of the sleaziest Barbie dolls ever put out on the market.

Then tell me what you think of Tattoo Barbie in the comments!

Slap a designer label on a slutty Barbie doll and that makes it okay, hmm? This Christian Louboutin-designed Barbie will set you back $150. Now that's a lot of allowance money!

I still fondly remember the days when My Bling Bling Barbie could be found on the Toys R Us shelves. And she was no collector's doll -- this was Barbie's answer to Bratz. Fortunately, no one bought into Barbie's 'bling.' I saw the doll on the clearance shelves not long after it had come out, and even then, no one was buying.

I believe the makers of the 'Highland Fling Barbie' misinterpreted the meaning of 'Highland Fling.' IT'S A FOLK DANCE, PEOPLE. Not an affair that took place in Scotland!!

Mattel is no longer offering its Lingerie Barbie on the Barbie Collector website, but don't worry! You can still put it under the tree for your little girl by buying it off Amazon for just $99.94!

I don't remember Little Red Riding Hood wearing a miniskirt and fishnet stockings in my childhood storybooks, but that's exactly how Barbie interpreted her ...

And if you're dead set on tattoos, Totally Stylin' Tattoos Barbie is still available on Amazon for just $17.99! Tattoo her wherever you want. Just leave me out of it.

Tattooed Tokidoki Barbie Doll Raises Parents' Ire

She’s got pink hair, high heels, leopard-skin leggings, a heart-and-crossbones logo on her shirt, tattoos, and goes by the name of Barbie.

She's also the centerpiece of the Tokidoki x Mattel collaboration, which this month released a limited edition of the iconic doll that is probably the funkiest version yet in her 52-year history. Called Tokidoki Barbie, it sells for $50 and is an homage to Tokidoki, the Italian-based, Japanese-inspired brand, and also features a related collection of women's clothing and accessories.

At $50 a pop, Barbie’s latest makeover is aimed at Barbie and Tokidoki collectors more than kids, but it's already got some parents' knickers in a twist, according to the UK's Daily Mail.

One commenter on the Ms. Twixt website, which is designed for the parents of tween girls to share and virtually shake their heads, wrote, “Encouraging children that tattoos are cool is wrong, wrong, wrong. Mattel why not put a cigarette and a beer bottle in her hand while you're at it!”

Another said, “I think it is horrible and sends the wrong message to young people,” the Mail notes. “In no way should a tattoo be honored.”

To be fair, there were parents with tattoos who were offended by everyone getting so annoyed. And there were parents who just thought it was OK for Barbie to be more realistic, contemporary — and fashionable, as this and other Barbie Style collaborations are promoting.

Over the decades, the most consistent complaint about Barbie is her unrealistic body shape that would fit into the category of anorexia if her relative measurements were put on a grown woman. And this isn’t the first time Barbie has gotten into trouble for tattoo art.

The Mail points out that 1999’s Butterfly Art Barbie was pulled from the shelves when enough parents complained. And a decade later marked the introduction of Totally Stylin' Tattoos Barbie, which had removable sticker tattoos. This time, Mattel didn’t pull the doll off the shelves when people complained.

One thing that probably didn’t excite parents this time around, also, is that the fanged cactus-coated pet that accompanies Barbie, in collectible vinyl figure style, is named Bastardino.

Tempest in a teacup? Weigh in below.

Barbie has always been a bit of a hussy. Now she’s tarting up even more.

The new Tokidoki Tattoo Barbie is gathering a lot of negative press.

Conservative parents aren’t too happy about the permanent ink etched in her neck and shoulder area.

Why didn’t Mattel just go full throttle and give the debauched Barbie a tramp stamp across her uplifted booty?

I realize she’s not the first version of Barbie to sink to what some believe are skanky lows.

There was a Bling Bling Barbie, wearing go-go boots, a micro-miniskirt and plenty of feathers and bangles. And there was Lingerie Barbie, wearing a hooker getup featuring a black bra, garter belt and sheer black hose. While she’s no longer available in the collection, you can buy this ready-for-action chick off Amazon for about a hundred bucks.

Tattoo Barbie’s predecessor, Totally Stylin’ Tattoos Barbie, who comes with stick-on tats, is also still available for less than $20.

I think Barbie had to vamp her image to compete with the hugely popular and controversial Bratz dolls, all of which are dressed like Lady Gaga or Lindsay Lohan.

One of my Facebook friends is wondering if they have a “slutty Ken” to match.

My guess would be Ken is too clean-cut for this new Barbie, who probably enjoys nights at bars throwing darts and swilling draft. I’m just wondering why she doesn’t come with a set of collagen inflated lips, a pack of Marlboro Lights and a twelver of Bud Lite.

Instead, she’s wearing a heart and crossbones tunic and a pair of leopard-print leggings. Seems like she’s toting a green prickly animal on a leash. Maybe it’s a Pokemon character.

While Tattoo Barbie may be angering some mamas who want to keep their 10-year-olds away from trash, I fear other versions — even worse — are yet to come. Here are a few ideas I’m concerned might pop up next, since Barbie is sashaying along a lascivious path.

1. Meth Lab Barbie: She’s wearing stained and ripped jeans, a tube top and comes with a single-wide, a giant container of Sudafed and Drano. She’ll have sores on her face, typical of meth addicts’ constant picking at their skin.

Amber Rose New STOMACH TATTOO

Amber Rose Gets A New TATTOO On Her STOMACH . . . And It's Shaped Like A UTERUS.

Sexy model Amber Rose is on the cover of Inked magazine.  The 28-year old celebrity shares about her inks, buzz cut hairstyle and more.

Amber dated Kanye West but they split after two years of being together.  She is currently dating Wiz Khalifa.  She shares about her first tattoo which was  paw print design. She got it when she was 15 years old.  She says, “I was 15 and I got paw prints on my upper thigh. It was kind of a fad in Philly and all the girls had them.”

Amber also have rose tattoos on her right upper arm and lower stomach which was the most painful of all her tattoos.  She might sport many tattoos but she mentions, “I want to get two full sleeves eventually, but I just don’t know what I want yet.”

Amber is a stunning model with her signature buzz cut hair.  The inspiration behind her hair is Sinéad O’Connor.  She reveals,“When I was a little girl I used to love Sinéad O’Connor’s video and song ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’. I knew I wanted to look as beautiful as she did one day, so when I was old enough to make my own decisions, at 19, I cut it off, and it’s been over eight years now.”

Some cancer patients are inspired to get her looks. She shares her little secret to them.  She says, “Wow, sweetheart, I’m so sorry to hear that. But I’m happy that I can help inspire you. To get my style, you would have to go to a beauty supply store and get powder bleach and 40-volume developer; mix them up and apply! You’ll be a blond Rosebud in no time!”

Amber is definitely oozing with sex appeal.  She shares her positive attitude towards people who says negative things about her.  “It’s not easy—I won’t lie. But I choose to keep my life positive. I’m not perfect, so I ask God to forgive me all the time and thank him for helping me grow into a better woman. That gets me through everything.”

Tattooed Barbie controversy among parents

Once again, Barbie is being criticized for damaging little girls, but not because of her unrealistic proportions. The new tokidoki Barbie has pink hair and huge neck and arm tattoos, and parents are concerned that the doll will send their precious pre-teen angel straight into the arms of some bad boy known for riding bikes and breaking girls' hearts.

Since most 5-year-old aren't familiar with Italian designer Simone Legno, we're guessing his tokidoki Barbie is intended for collectors. Particularly because her spikey pet has a somewhat risque name. According to Mattel's discription:

tokidoki® Barbie® doll is always ready for cutting-edge fashion! She pops on a pink miniskirt, logo leggings and black top with signature skull heart and bones, carries a large bag from the brand, then adds bracelets, a belt, and sky-high sparkly silvery shoes! This funky fashionista features trendy tattoos and a pink bob. With cactus friend, Bastardino, by her side, she's ready for fun in fashion-forward form!

Yet, parents are working themselves into a tizzy about the doll's harmful message. A commenter on the parents' website Twixt says:

Encouraging children that tattoos are cool is wrong, wrong, wrong. Mattel why not put a cigarette and a beer bottle in her hand while you're at it!

Obviously Barbie's molded plastic hand is better suited to grabbing wine glasses than beer bottles, but the the point stands. As anyone who witnessed Quinn's brief involvement with the Skanks on Glee knows, tattoos and pink hair can only lead to debauchery and sassing authority figures. We must do everything in our power to ensure that this limited edition $50 collector's doll that's already sold out until November doesn't warp girls into thinking that hair color and body art are personal style choices that have nothing to do with moral character.
