Pregcellent: Are Baby Name Tattoos Sweet Or Stupid?

Kelly Mills — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:29:00 GMT

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. I neglected to mention that I have my kid's name tattooed on my arm. Only those who have seen me tank-topped know this, and they didn't rat me out in time to stop the other folks from giving honest answers. Mwah ha ha.

Karen laid down this honest opinion, that child name tats are "lame. What do you do when you want to cut them out of the will? Though maybe if you have a lot of kids it can help you remember their names. I have 4 and I'm always getting them mixed up, so if I could refer to my ass or something from time to time I might remember who's who." But of course, she's a vegetarian, so we don't take anything she says too seriously.

Amy, who is obviously a thoughtful and intelligent person, says, "I think kinda sweet, although I have seen moms get some sort of symbol of their child's name (like a lily for Lily or...I don't know, the Red Sea for Moses) which I think is cooler if done in a more arty way." Coincidentally I have a vine on my arm for my child with a plant name. Very astute observation Amy.

Madeline, who is so pragmatic I'll probably have her manage my life from now on, says, "Nothing takes the rebellion out of tattoos than your mom's ass sporting your name, you know?" Extra bonus to the tat, if you ask me.

And Mike "Sow-My-Seed-Far-and-Wide" Adamick says, "My only problem with kids tattoos is that it's hard to keep track of all the kids. I mean, one night in Phoenix and holy crap, another Dylan on your chest or a Mimi on your forearm. I'd have ink poisoning if I tried to keep up ... " No comment, but that December support check better be in the mail or I'm kicking his ass.

Jessica just sold me out and told the group about my artwork. The bitch.

My obviously biased opinion is that I like my tattoo, even if I do have to field questions like "Which came first: the tattoo or your daughter?" As though I would randomly tattoo a name on me and then name my kid after it. Sigh.

Feel free to agree or haterate as much as you like now.

Fame is Good. July 26th.
