Angelina Jolie Reveals Her Children Already Want Tattoos

The celebrity mum has admitted that her six children are badgering her to get their own tattoos done. But Brad Pitt has put his foot down.

It’s something that all parents dread – the day their child asks to get their ears pierced, wear make-up or, in Ange’s case, get a tattoo. It’s a clear sign that your little girl is no longer quite so little.  

But as a parent, should you put your foot down or let your child make her own decisions? Angelina Jolie, 39, is all for letting her children pave their own way – but not when it comes to tattoos.

“They’re already asking me about tattoos,” says Angelina to Radio Times. “How do I say no?”

Despite being covered in body art herself (she reportedly has 17 tats), the mum of six has already turned down her 13-year-old son Maddox’s tattoo request.

But it's not just her oldest child who wants to get inked. Her nine-year-old daughter, Zahara, is asking about them, too.

And Brad ain’t happy.

“It’s especially hard for dads and girls,” says Ange. “For some reason men get a little more sensitive when the daughter gets a tattoo. And Brad thinks the girls can do no wrong. He’s mush in their hands!”

But we hazard a guess that her children will have to wait a good few years to get their own body art. Aside from Maddox and Zahara, Brangelina's kids are six years old, eight and 11. So not one of them is anywhere near the legal age to have a tattoo, which is 18.

And it's not just tattoos that Bragelina are attempting to clamp down on. The actress admits that she's not keen for her brood to follow in her footsteps when it comes to their careers either.

“We’ve always said, if they want to act, we won’t let them only act, because it’s not enough,” says Angelina.

“They’ll have to find a real job at the same time. But I’m hoping that when they see all the other things in the world, they’ll be inspired to be writers, politicians activists.

“They’re very individual people. So I imagine they’re not going to follow their mum and dad.”

Unlike Angelina, Kim Kardashian is one fellow famous mum who’s happy for her tot to follow her lead.

“I would support anything she wants to do,” the reality star said on Perth’s 92.9FM when asked if she would allow North to follow in her stripping-off-for-the-camera footsteps.

We can only hope that Kim wouldn’t condone that happening for at least, oooh, another 17 years.
