• UPDATE: Dad Who Forced Son To Get Tattoo is Arrested

  This is pretty hard core. Enrique Gonzalez, a Fresno, California father, is a member of a gang called the Bulldogs. He wanted his son, who is 7, to get marked with their symbol, which is a dog's paw. The boy didn't want to, possibly because he's seven and tattoos hurt. (I can barely get my kids to stick a thermometer in their mouths to see if they have a fever.) So, according to a police report, Gonzalez held his son down while Travis Gorman gave him the tattoo.

• Tats for Tots

  Is this a sign that tattoos are way mainstream or that kids clothing has no boundaries? Or both? A tattoo shop made semi-famous on the TLC TV show "Miami Ink" has launched a baby apparel line featuring "baby-ish" versions of body ink standards: aggressive dragons and tigers and cartoon characters.   Read More...

• Barbie Gets Inked

  The West Virginia state lawmaker who wants to outlaw Barbie is going to lose his mind when he finds out about this: Barbie's got a tattoo!  In fact, she has many -- and plenty of extra for the girls who play with her. Mattel will introduce "Totally Stylin' Tattoos" Barbie in its spring line. She comes with gobs of tattoos for herself, tattoos for the kids and also an accessory that seams to put many parents over the edge:   Read More...

• Political Nanny: Obama Answers the Tattoo Question ... Finally!

  Guess we can't count on the alternative press to ask the candidates important questions either. Or can we? Portland's Willamette Week asked Democratic candidate Barack Obama, who's in Oregon campaigning hard for a must-win in that state's primary next week, what tattoo would he get, were he so inclined, and where would he get it?   Read More...

• Lower Back Tattoos for Your Toddler

  If your kids are anything like mine, they are very admiring of my tattoos.  They call them "Mommy's pretty stickers" so I was pleased as punch to see that Toys R Us is now selling sticker tattoos for kids' lower backs. Since I have girls (ages 3 to 6) with low cut jeans anyway,   Read More...

• New Children's Book: Mommy Has A Tattoo

  What a paradigm of ironic narrow-mindedness I was recently when I literally judged a kid’s book by its cover; a book that is, among other things, about how you cannot and should not judge a book by its cover. When the opportunity to review a new children’s book entitled “Mommy Has Tattoos” was extended via email by author and illustrator Phil Padwe to Strollerderby’s own team of heavily inked bloggers, parents and epigrammarians my initial reaction was one of droll sarcasm. I emailed a reply to the group, “I would do the review but I have a Trilogy of children's books coming out titled: Mommy has a Tramp Stamp, Mommy has Ass Antlers and Mommy has a California License Plate. I’m also currently writing two for Dad’s called: Daddy has a Tribal Arm Band and Daddy has a Japanese Symbol on his Calf that Actually Means Asshole and I fear there may be a conflict of interest.” As a Tattooed Dad though I was curious to see how the book conveyed being a tattooed parent in a way that children would relate to and learn something from, so after perusing book’s website I agreed to do the review.

• Pregcellent: Are Baby Name Tattoos Sweet Or Stupid?

  Joel Madden says when his and Nicole Richie's baby springs forth and is immediately swaddled in a dry-clean-only Gucci scarf and outfitted with giant sunglasses, Joel will quickly commemorate the occasion by getting the baby's name tattooed over his heart. A name like Ryan, Lennon, Casey or Dylan, because Joel "really wants to use an Irish name because of his heritage." (To which I say: Noooo! Don't saddle our people with your destined-for-tabloid-infamy spawn Joel! As if we don't have enough cultural baggage to bear from Lord of the Dance and most House of Pain songs!) Anyhow, the fact that Joel Madden is doing this made me ponder the important question, is a child name tattoo touching or trashy? Now, I naturally asked the other Derbyers what they thought, but in the process I laid a clever trap... Read More...

• Tattoo You, Mama

  I love tattoos. I don't actually have any because I am a great big pansy wussypants, but I think they're creative forms of self-expression. I think I was put off them forever when asking a profusely-decorated guy I liked if it hurt, and he said, "Well, not really… until they hit a chunk of bone and then it hurts like a bitch." Nice. Given that I was in college in the 1990s I am pretty glad I opted out of the tattoo trend, though, since I escaped being one of the 9 million young women (and based on the email discussion of this matter, at least one of our SD guys) with a butterfly on the bikini line/sorority letters on the ankle/dolphin on the hip. And once I hit 30 I just figured the time I could do it without looking like a total idiot was past. Well, according to this New York Times article, I might have another chance to get inked up. Moms are apparently getting their kid's names or symbols that evoke them etched onto their skin in record numbers. Read More...

• Nicole Kidman's Kids Can't Have Tattoos. Can Yours?

  Tattoos are much more socially acceptable nowadays, a far cry from the faded sailor tats or Hell's Angels of yesteryears. (Did I just say "yesteryears"? Ew. Sorry.)  In some cultures around the world, of course, they never went out of style, but now people seem to be, for the most part, fairly comfortable with the idea of using the human body as a vehicle for expression of the self and the decoration that goes along with it. I have a couple of tattoos myself. But what about our kids?   Read More...

• Parent Tattoos

  Angelina Jolie has the coordinates of the countries where her four children were born tattooed on her upper left arm.  Pamela Anderson has the word "Mommy" tattooed on her ring finger. Five stars grace the back of Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham (one each for her and her husband, and the other three for her kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz).  Her husband, David Beckham, has the names of their three sons scrolled across his back, and three cherubs on the inside of his biceps in their honor.  And actor Johnny Depp, has tattooed portraits of his children, Lily-Rose and Jack, on his body?  Could you be next?

• How Do You Know If Your Baby's Too Young For...?

  All this hype about whether or not Britney wanted to whiten not-quite-two-year old Sean Preston's teeth has me a) wondering if the Baby Mama in Ripped Fishnets is now solely existing to keep bloggers happy, snarky and getting paid, and b) if there is some substance to her comments -- mistaken or just blurted out in a stream of drunken slurs and plain old wackadoodleness. I wonder how soon you really can slip some whitening trays around those icky "natural-hewed" baby teeth. Do you need to wait until they're already in, or is it worth re-doing just so you don't lose precious fluorescent-colored tooth nub time? Read More...

• Lower Back Tattoo Remover for Moms

  I'm a tattooed mama. It's an expression of my individuality and rebellious nature, because having tattoos really makes me stand out from the, oh, five moms left in the world who don't have them. I suppose that's a bit of an exaggeration, but somehow I have a funny feeling many moms out there have lower back tattoos. And that's why I love this video so much. My friend (with a back tattoo) sent it to me, and I had the strange realization that SNL pokes fun at me, because I'm part of the target audience. Yay for being a grownup!  Big laughs for both the morphing, aging ink, and Jamaica.   Posted May 19 2007, 08:46 AM by Kelly Mills with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: youtube, moms, hipster parenting, tattoos
