Obama Family Tattoo: If Malia and Sasha get inked the President and First Lady will too

Barack Obama has warned his daughters Malia and Sasha that if they get tattoos, he and his wife Michelle will get matching ones on the same place on their bodies.

In an interview on NBC’s Today show, President Barack Obama said he hoped the “family tattoo” threat would discourage teen rebellion.

Barack Obama said he had warned Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, that he and First Lady Michelle Obama would show off their matching tattoos on YouTube.

The girls are the first teenagers in the White House since Chelsea Clinton.

Chelsea Clinton was 12 when her father President Bill Clinton took office in 1993.

In the interview the president also reacted to Michelle Obama’s recent remark that she was a “busy single mother”.

In her own interview with a local television news station, Michelle Obama quickly corrected herself.

Calling the first lady’s comment a slip of the tongue, Barack Obama added that at times – for instance when he was running for office – Michelle Obama was both working and looking after their daughters and may have felt like a single parent.
