Body art-averse parents are allegedly up in arms over the Totally Stylin’ Tattoo Barbie, who is clearly totally styling with her totally stylin’, tiny butterfly tattoo (my prediction: if they make a Ken version, he’ll have something tribal).

Don’t worry, Mom and Dad! Just because kids are begging for tattoos like Barbie doesn’t mean you have to cave! Take ’em to see Britney Spears’ new tour, where this t-shirt will be available. Buy it and pad the laser-removal fund for Brit-Brit’s many tattoos (most souvenirs from her unfortunate downward-spiral period, and many in the realm of Barbie’s pink butterfly). And if your little precious does get some ink work done, don’t fret — as part of her Sephora make-up line, L.A. Ink goddess Kat Von D has introduced — somewhat ironically — tattoo concealer. Billy Bob forever, never!
