Surround yourself by people who always give you a reason to smile
A friend of mine would like to have tattoo with the phrase above. I have translated that way but I would like to know the opinion of a native english speaker, to dispel any doubt. I believe it is correct, but what about fluency?
You know, the phrase is going to stay there forever, so I don't wanna have it on my conscience, just in case :D

Thank you in advance for any help, advice or consideration.

As for the tattoo issue, I really wouldn't like to say.....

Answer

It sounds fine but it is rather long for a tattoo!
