10 most controversial barbie dolls to shock the world (With Photos)

7. Tattoo Barbie

Traditionally, tattoos have always told a story. They can describe a wild, crazy night or they can be more personal by commemorating a loved one. Apparently, Barbie had a story to tell with her lower back tattoo when she was introduced in 2009, as Totally Stylin’ Tattoos Barbie. Perhaps Mattel forgot that their target audience consisted of girls under the age of being able to get a tattoo. Although they were just temporary tattoos which kids could apply on themselves, Ed Mayo, chief executive of Consumer Focus, believed that this doll inspired children to get actual tattoos. Luckily for Barbie, there are ways to reverse those embarrassing tattoos now.
