The US President has come up with a novel way to dissuade his two teenage daughters from getting tattoos.

Barack Obama has said that if Malia and Sasha get tattoos then he and Michelle will get matching ones on the same part of their bodies.

He was speaking to the Today Show on NBC.

He warned his daughters "If you guys ever decided you're going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo in the same place. And we'll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo".

Mr. Obama was speaking during a wide-ranging interview conducted hours before the Boston Marathon bombings. He answered questions about gun control, North Korea, immigration reform, abortion and various other topics.

The President also gave his wife tremendous credit for her role as a working parent, particularly during his campaigns.

He laughed off a question about a recent gaffe when Mrs. Obama accidentally called herself a 'busy single mother' before quickly correcting herself and laughing off the mistake.

At the end of the discussion President Obama also spoke about life in the White House.
