Barbie tattoos and boudoir shoots in Canberra: how to embrace Barbiecore ahead of movie release

Barbiecore is taking the world by storm and Canberra hasn't been left untouched.

The Greta Gerwig film, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has more than 100 licensing deals to celebrate its release on Thursday. But everyone is so excited that other brands have jumped on the hot pink bandwagon.

Here are just some of the things that you can do in the capital to show your Barbie pride.

Here's one for the lifelong Barbie fans - not just those jumping on the bandwagon.

Of course, you can get a tattoo any time, but Canberra Ink has got some Barbie tattoo designs ready to go, for anyone who wants to mark this cultural moment in history.

Whether you choose the classic logo, some Barbie-esque motifs or even Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's autographs, the Belconnen studio will be running the promotion for bookings and walk-ins from Wednesday until the film leaves cinemas.

What's a Barbie outfit without a little sparkle? Luckily Canberra designer Hello Sparkle is here to make all our Barbie dreams come true.

As well as having a selection of Barbie-themed earrings available at Pop Canberra - including the "Let's go Party!" and "Barbie Girl" love hearts - there's also a range online including a few badges and lanyard designs (because even the office deserves a little sparkle).
