I'd feel like it'd be a totally natural thing to do...I mean who wouldn't want to inscribe my handsome face permanently onto their flesh?

I had a worker that decided to become a model but was required to remove his traditional sailor tattoo @ US$1500/inch^2. He wore a large bandage for months as the pigments were lased away.

It depends completely on the friends in question. Personally I'm not a big fan of tattoos (for myself, not others) so would find the notion weird, even amongst my very close friends. However my cousin and his best friend got matching style tattoos of each others nicknames. So I guess the only relevant answer to this question is to ask how you feel about your friend doing this?

I believe that the truth of (many of) these statements depend critically on the meaning of friend. None of my acquaintances have visible body modifications beyond styled (facial) hair.
