The latter is arguably her most difficult job.
It may sound a bit out there, but the former first lady made a threat of embarrassment.
It was how she and her husband, Barack Obama, dissuaded their children from getting body art.
For Michelle, growing up in the late 20th century, tattoos were taboo.
There are manybig reasons you should never get a tattoo.
you could get a reaction or have an inexperienced artist.
However, for Sasha and Malia, it was a shivering image of twinning with their famous parents.
When your parents have more followers than you, it might not be worth calling their bluff.
Thankfully, she and the 44th president were a united front on this topic.
However, their views on body art have changed in the intervening time.
“It shouldn’t be politicized,” Michelle told Clarkson.
The Obamas lightening up about body art might’ve saved them from getting inked.
Their youngest, Sasha Obama, went under the needle.
She has a hot air balloon tattoo on the back of her arm.
Not a bad design for a family tatt.
And there are a lot more in the first lady’s parenting toolbox.
As Michelle noted, “We’ve got to be careful with how we communicate with young people.”
She asserted, “They don’t need us to point out the thing that is wrong first.”
So, mentioning the hot air balloon tattoo can be saved for after dessert.
