Something tells me they'll be in high demand once the tattoo fad wears off in a few years.
A former coworker got a small tattoo on her calf when she was in her early 20's. Once she became a mom with 2 little girls she regretted getting it, but she couldn't afford to have it removed. Her daughters were constantly asking her when they could get a tattoo.

I have advised my 19 year old and 22 year old nieces to think about where they get tattoos should they decide to get one (or more than one). There is still bias in more conservative career paths to those who have tattoos that are easily seen (lower arms, neck, etc.).
