the junior tattoo parlor… you know, for kids.

If I hadn’t seen this with my own two eyes, I would have thought this was a product from a fake commercial on SNL…

The GR8 TaT2 Maker from Spin Master Toys lets tykes aspire to greatness with their own junior tattoo parlor. For just $14.99, little Billy and Bobby can pretend to scar themselves with an electric tattoo pen and set off on a course for a life on the edge. Antibiotics not included.

I’m looking forward to their next product “My Little Meth Lab”.

We own a tattoo shop and my 5 yr. old loves this tattoo machine.(accessories are hard to find)
He gives our friends and thier kids tattoos and they give them him a buck, he even has to sit at our tattoo chairs to do the tattoos. I find nothing wrong with this and our friends kids get a kick out of getting a tattoo w/ thier parents, and as for the moron who wrote the first comment you obviously know nothing about tattoos and have only seen bad ones, tattoos when done by someone who knows what they are doing are beautiful.You might try educating yourself before criticizing, try using your computer for that instead of looking @ porn.

I hope these are the removeable kind of tattoos

hey, as long as the parents explain that a real tatoo hurts like hell and they are pretty expensive, heck, maybe the kid will stay with the fake one and even when he or she’s an adult, the person will get tattoos when they want them with that machine and then change it when he or she wants. I haven’t even gotten my ears peirced yet. I’m sticking with clip-ons. (pardon the pun, please.)

ok some of you people are realy fken stupid , for one piercing dont even hurt that bad , I know Ive gotten them , And i work at a tattoo shop. Tattoos dont realy hurt that bad either unless you have a high tolerance to pain or your young . I have 12 different tatoos and my 6 year old cousin got this for his birthday and he thinks its a blasts. It isnt hurting anybody.
And you dont realy need to tell kids that tatoos hurt real bad, I had one kid that came in that wanted a tattoo of a dragon on his back , he was like 14. he got up and i started the tatoo. I was probably half a second into the tattoo and he f*ckin jumped up crying.

this is sooo cool im a tattoo artist too. when i have my own kid im gonna buy him/her one
*its unfair to associate tattoo culture with meth… sad

I absolutely cannot believe this chump made that meth comment. Not only is this remark completely ignorant , it is extremely offensive and wrong on so many levels. just because you are so closed minded and afraid of an evolving culture, gives you no right to compare tattooing to a drug epidemic that kills children and shatters lives. Personally i will definatley be buying this for my kid when i have one.
10. technabob | October 16th, 2007 at 10:30 pm

I will do my best to avoid your child then.
11. Bianka | November 26th, 2007 at 1:17 am

What is wrong with this? I see more wrong with the glorified barbie dolls and all their assets, provocative clothing and make up sets than with a child’s tattooing station. Not that I have a personal problem with any of the afore mentioned but still.

For petes sake, at least this includes stencils and the kid can have fun, I remember drawing all over friends with permenant markers. This would at least look better.
12. courtney | December 18th, 2007 at 5:42 pm

ok so having a play tattoo parlor for your kid is equal to the illegalness of a meth lab? I don’t think so. Tattoos are a form of art. Meth labs are a form of getting messed up. I know plenty of people who are nicer and behave more that are into tattoos than those who arn’t.

I just love how these 2 kids fit the hillbilly tatooing stereotype.
14. celeste | January 1st, 2008 at 2:31 pm

Personally I think it’s a much better toy for kids then any of the ‘Bratz’ dolls….I’d rather buy my neice one of these then a makeup set (which is quite common for 5 year old girls to have nowadays). Its cute!
15. trey | January 12th, 2008 at 10:52 pm

haha i wish i had one when i was a kid
16. inked | January 16th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

To all the up tight schmucks commenting on the post’s author about the “My Little Meth Lab” line… it was a joke! I seriously doubt it was intended to offend anyone or compare tattoo culture with drug culture. People are so sensitive these days. Get over, stop crying and get a real f**kin tattoo.
17. Edward | January 18th, 2008 at 10:10 pm

What did tattoos ever do to you? I’m assuming you don’t have any.

Tool.
18. technabob | January 18th, 2008 at 10:57 pm

Geez. I swear people are so hostile about this. Clearly people have lost their sense of humor.
19. nuz | February 25th, 2008 at 3:22 pm

i came accross this when i was looking for a similar toy for my 5 year old daughter she loves tats, me and my hubby each have quite alot ourselfs and she loves them she finds them facinating and has developed a huge intrest in art but knows that you cant get a real one till your an adult (hence the search for a toy one) theres nothing wrong or particualy ofencive about them there are far worse things in life.
stop your kids stealing cars and taking drugs and let them play whether its with toy tats or barbie dolls
20. angelaa | April 24th, 2008 at 10:30 pm

wow. i am PERSONALLY a kid and i think this is cool. i don’t see a damm thing worng with a tattoo. its just another way of expressing youself. and the little “meth lab” is just wrong, but funny in a way. its still wrong! i will ABSOLUTLY purchase one of these.
21. Tay loves tats | May 25th, 2008 at 10:44 am

I love tattoos and i am still a kid and find nothing wrong with this. im thinkin about gettin a permanent one myself and have been thinkin bout it and plannin it since i was like 10. . . i much rather get a play tattoo parlor then one of thoughs bitchy ass barbie dolls.Cuz guess who they look like…BRITANY SPEARS!!! And what kind of role model is she?think of it this way…your kids like tattoos and find them cool or your kids ending up like britany spaers…i no mi answer.

I see nothing wrong at all with any of the beging comments the meth was just a joke settle it down lol. im 17 and iv got 3 tattoos all ready im plaining on getting at least 6 more and once i have kids im for sure buying this toy just becuse it will intrege them into art work im going to get my kid his first tattoo if he or she wants it at age 6-8 i figure nobody really cares on how bitch u people get about having them or the stuped meth joke settle it down a little
23. VelvetSatyre | June 24th, 2008 at 7:43 pm

That is sad to associate the tattoo culture with meth. It may be a joke to you the person that made the first comment, but there are many people that do not know anything about tattoos or it’s culture and are quite biased about it all. The tattoo culture should not looked upon as it by some people. You shouldn’t judge other people when you don’t even have a justifiable reason for doing so, let alone ever.Judging others just means that you cannot cope with whoever it is you are.You can’t cope with your own personality.
