Brad Pitt Reveals Why He's Acting Less
Nicole Kidman says no tattoos for her kids
Filed under: Teens, Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, In The News, Decor
According to super-actress and celebrity mom Nicole Kidman, her children have reached that rebellious stage and she felt she needed to "lay down some ground rules."
Wow! Responsible parenting from a celebrity--how refreshing! In a world where celebrities dangles their babies over balconies and use their kids as pawns in the bitter divorce game it's nice to hear some good old fashioned values coming from a star. Now, how realistic those values are is another story.
I have news for Nicole. She can forbid her kids to get tattoos, but that doesn't mean they won't get them. I appreciate her going on the record with her opinion though. Iterating her beliefs is a good step to take as a parent, I think, even if she knows her kids are going to be rebellious.
Now, of course, Conner and Isabella (Bella) will have the whole world watching them--waiting for one of them to set foot near a tattoo parlor. I can hear the paparazzi now: "Hey--your mom said NO!" Oh, the embarrassment! Now it will be even harder to be cool.
Kidman says that in general she has nothing against tattoos, considering her husband, mega-star and mega-hottie Keith Urban has some of his own. She just feels that since tats are permanent careful consideration should be given to them--consideration it's hard to undertake when one is fifteen years old, like her daughter.
Nicole didn't mention anything about fake tattoos. I wonder what her stance is on those! I know we here at ParentDish at one point engaged in a lively discussion of tattoos both real and fake. It's interesting to me in this modern world that tattoos are everyday conversation among parents!

Caelligh said...It's interesting that you consider forbidding a teenager from getting a tattoo an example of "good old fashioned values." I guess it is in the sense that parents should set clear boundaries for their children. But isn't this a pretty superficial example of one's job as a parent? Tattoos seem unimportant in the grand scheme of turning children into emotionally and ethically sound and happy adults.

chris said...Maybe I just do not get why everyone thinks its okay... to allow your kids to have piercings and tattos by the time they leave high school. Am I a bad parent for saying its a bad choice like drugs and alcohol ? I grew up when tattos where either badly done , or you were trash if you had them . My husband has 8 big ones, He runs a division of his company and has a BA in fine art. But On a general note NO I have rencouraged my kids NOT TO DO IT. If they do they will be adults , and by then .. they will be mature enough to choose a design and save up enough money to get a good one . I AGREE WITH HER totally .
