In one of our March blog posts we informed you that household favourite Barbie would be celebrating her 50th birthday with a collection of temporary tattoos that can be applied to her body.

Well, we now have pictures of her sporting her new tats and doing so with the glamour and professionalism that we expect from her!

The doll’s maker, Mattel, are adamant the move will bring Barbie, and her brunette rival Nikki up to current trends, although there are no plans to give Ken any tattoos!

We appreciate that this new look Barbie has divided the world with peoples views, but temporary tattoos have been around for decades (who remembers having hours of fun with the pop star tats you got free with Smash Hits?!), so as long as children are careful, safe and educated then there is nothing wrong with a bit of harmless fun!

Check out our temporary Celebrity Tattoos and Fairy Tattoos for even more ways to have fun!
