I think you're over-reacting.
Most people in this thread are not saying that at all. They're warning her about how difficult portrait tattoos are to pull off unless you have someone who really knows what they're doing, which sounds like reasonable advice to me.
A few people here don't like them but it's hardly the blanket negativity you're making it out to be.
