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,

it would be fun to place a little pic of Hannah Montana or Mickey Mouse as a sort of peekaboo pretty picture. 

Kids these days are growing up fast.  We're serving mock cocktails at my youngest daughter's 3rd birthday tomorrow evening.  She loves those virgin Margaritas, I tell you.

Heading to Toys R Us now to buy her tattoo sticker.  Her older sisters will be green with envy!

Hope this is a joke, otherwise this just confirms my plea that people don't reproduce any more without both parents getting a thorough psychological examination.  What kind of trailer y'all livin' in, missy?  Double-wide?  Reg'lar?

I have no problem with mocktails - but tramp stamps are abhorrent. I'm almost positive this is sarcasm, but my snark-o-meter broke, so I can't be totally sure.

Oh lord. I find this fabulous. As some whose parents with several tattoos, I know I used to draw "tattoos" on my body from a young age, immolating what I saw. I now have a "tramp stamp," and yet still managed to marry, earn several degrees, and run my own successful business. I don't think location of my artwork defines my sexuality, or any other part of my being.

Is it so hard to imagine why my child would want to follow her successful, and expressive, mommy's footsteps?

hopefully, they do better, at least at learning English, so they don't set their backs on fire instead.

Amazing what consumerism produces ain't it! We have a society full of people aghast at the notion that their child might be a sexual being - yet we have mothers who allow their daughters to dress up like cheap whores at very young ages. The same mothers who go psycho if someone dares to look at their daughter in an unusual way - and now cheap stick on tattoos for their toddler's backs. Don't these just say 'I'm a slut, come and do me?' Ah, the madness continues.
