Be Wild in Stella Blu Clothing

Whit Honea — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:01:00 GMT

Stella Blu Clothing makes t-shirts and onesies for rocking kids. Their line is self-descirbed as boorish and rebellious, but in a good way, and we are inclined to agree.

The designs are full of confidence, imagination and expression, featuring rock motifs and classic tattoos in sizes ranging from newborn to 6x.

Check out the Stella Blu website and see some mischief on the kids for a change.

SafetyTat Temporary Tattoos Are More Than Just For Show

Chris Ford — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 07:57:00 GMT

A lot of kid-related email rolls into my inbox each day, and a lot of it isn't worth reading. But sometimes you see something that you have to check out not because you've heard of it before, but because you're not sure if you're reading it correctly. A promotional pitch from SafetyTat temporary tattoos for kids was one of those emails. As it turned out, it was an email about a product that's a pretty cool idea.

SafetyTat temporary tattoos are basically labels you can put on young children that contain contact information, medical information or anything else you might want an adult to know if you and your child were separated for some reason. For instance, you and the family are going to a theme park and you're worried your over-excited son might get lost. With your cell phone number on the tattoo, your child (in theory) would be reunited with you much more quickly.

There are two different kinds of products, one with pre-determined contact info you provide when you purchase the tattoos (these work more like traditional temporary tattoos). And another that's kind of an adhesive "stick-on" tattoo that you can write any information on and are designed to be more portable. They even have products for children with allergies, medical alerts or for children with special needs (autism, autism non-verbal etc.).

It's a pretty cool idea I think, and for the right family it's probably a pretty great idea. Check them out at SafetyTat.com.

This Holiday Season, Everyone Gets 'Mom' Tattoos!

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 21:02:00 GMT

Raise your hand if you regret any of your pre-kid tattoos. Thought so -- now, raise your hand if you want to save your kids from similarly bad ink. With SpinMaster's i-Tattoo pen ($17.99 from Amazon.com), your kids can either get tattooing out of their system early or start down their career path as the new Paul Booth. Either way, everyone wins. The kit comes with a battery-powered tattoo "gun" (actually a pulsing, pain-free pen with washable ink) and 30 stencils ranging from dolphins to tribal designs. Pretend laser surgery not included.

Nice Ink: Tattoo Band-aids

Kelly Mills — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:02:00 GMT

My child, like all children since the dawn of adhesive bandages, likes to cover any real or imagined scrape and scratch with band-aids. She's also very big on temporary tattoos, and often looks like a regular on Miami Ink. This is a nice, latex-free way to combine her need for old-school tats with the whole bandage fixation. Plus it's a step closer to my dream that she'll get "Mom" tattooed on her bicep. Each assortment is $3.99 from Perpetual Kid. Via Boing Boing.

Baby's First Tattoo

Awesome safety strategy or parental paranoia gone wrong? You be the judge. These temporary tattoos (each of the three designs comes in a set of six for $10 at My Precious Kid) could help save your child in an emergency, right? I just have one question: Exactly where on the kid are we putting these? Because either you're tattooing the poor child's face or you're risking it being overlooked. I'm just sayin'.

Tattoo Your Tummy

Interesting concept: These Touch My Tummy Tattoos for expectant moms ($4.99 at Perpetual Kid) allow you to "Just lift up your shirt and end tons of questions instantly like; How far along are you? A boy or a girl?" Then you can move on to the next set of questions, like "Why are you flashing me?" and "Are those real?"
