Brad Pitt - because they want their own inkings.
The couple are parents
to six children, six-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, Shiloh, eight,
Zahara, nine, Pax, 11 and Maddox, 13.

Jolie, 39, is thought to
have about 17 different designs, including an inscription on her arm
which she got just last year, inked all over her body.
The star told Radio Times magazine that she did not want her offspring to follow their parents into the movie business.
'My kids rebelling would
be if they all became brain surgeons. They're already asking me about
tattoos. How do I say "No"?,' she said.
'It's especially hard
for dads and girls,' she said. '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!'
Jolie - whose tattoos
include a large tiger on her lower back - told the magazine that if her
children want to act '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,' she said.

| New inking: Brad recently revealed this new tattoo on his stomach |
Despite his aversion to tattoos for his children, Brad has up to a dozen of his own inkings.
Earlier this year he showed off two new tattoos, one on the inside of his right bicep, and another on his torso, His
bicep tattoo is a variation of part of a Rumi poem, and reads: 'There
exists a field, beyond all notions of right and wrong. I will meet you
there,' and the markings add to a collection which includes one of Oetzi
the Ice Age Caveman on his left arm and Jolie’s birth date in written
in Khmer on his stomach. culled
