Nicole Kidman bans her daughter from having a tattoo

Actress says Isabella is too young at 14

Nicole Kidman has banned her daughter from having a tattoo – saying she thinks she's too young to have a permanent design.

Isabella, 14, who Nicole adopted with Tom Cruise, has already dyed her hair a wild 'teenage' hue and now wants a bit of body art.

‘Bella had a phase of blue hair,’ Nicole explains.

‘Luckily that only lasted for a little while. But we recently had a discussion at home about tattoos and I had to lay down some ground rules.’

Nicole, 40 – who’s now married to Keith Urban - says she doesn’t have a problem with them but thinks her daughter is too young to be getting indelible ink pumped under her skin.

‘My husband has tattoos, so obviously I don’t mind them on principle,’ she tells Hello!

‘But I do think you have to a certain age before you can choose something as permanent as that, and I don’t think that age is 14 or 15.

‘Call me old fashioned, if you will.’
