These are the ones I expect at the laser surgery office at 30, 40 and 50

I do know what you mean and have always been very vocal about making sure a tattoo is a right choice for people when asked. I used to bartend and my tattoos were visible and poeple ALL THE TIME used to ask me for recommendations and advice on the subject. There was many times I have said to someone I think you should really think about your choice of material or placement. I dont think that they are for everyone. I dont think "but its cute and my so and so has one" is a good idea to permanently mark your body.
I also felt really good about referring them to my friend that tattoos and not just because she is my friend. But I do know in that shop that if they think that the tattoo and placement is a bad choice (as far as being able to stand the test of time and still look good in 10 years) they will inform the customer and if it means they lose the booking and the money they don't care.
