Meet the new tattoo-clad Barbie
The legendary doll, Barbie, has held many different jobs in the past, from a doctor, an astronaut, a teacher, a model to a housewife. That’s only naming a few. So what is Barbie’s most recent look? A tattoo-clad, pink-haired diva. This new Barbie is the result of Barbie’s collaboration with Simone Legno of the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand Tokidoki.
The new Barbie is described on Barbie’s website as:
‘Tokidoki® Barbie® doll is always ready for cutting-edge fashion! She pops on a pink miniskirt, logo leggings and black top with signature skull heart and bones, carries a large bag from the brand, then adds bracelets, a belt, and sky-high sparkly silvery shoes! This funky fashionista features trendy tattoos and a pink bob. With cactus friend, Bastardino, by her side, she’s ready for fun in fashion-forward form!’
Loads of people will definitely have a problem with her new rougher look, but I think it’s great to update her identity every so often. Just as long as she’s not portrayed as a drug-addict or any other seedy profession. It’s great that all identities are embraced.

That is one stylishly dressed Barbie Doll. I like the idea because not all little girls are the perfect blonde princess, some are different, some are funky, some want pink hair, so let them have a doll to suit their wants as well. I personally would love a doll like this (if I were a couple years younger obviously) Parents who will be worried about the influence this Barbie will have on their kids must teach their kids to not be so easily influenced
I am in love with this Barbie!!! Do you know where I could buy one in South AFrica or even online?
This is absolutely disgustin children are impressionable and no parent wants to deal with tattoes on their minor, to those girls who want pink hair and body ink get yourself a tokidoki doll and lea ve barbie and her pure wholesome image alone!
