This Social Tattoo Features Pictures of its Wearer's Facebook Friends
Amelia Roblin — June 8, 2011 — Pop Culture
Broadcasting her online buddies from her Facebook profile may not have been enough for one woman, as she chose to get this Social Tattoo featuring every one of them down her arm.
YouTuber user susyj87 sought the assistance of Tattoo Dex to get current photographs of her 152 Facebook friends inked onto her forearm. Settling on the images that brand each of her pals' profile pictures, this woman had her artist replicate each one in a colorful grid from bicep to wrist.
One can't help but wonder what will happen if she gains or loses friends on the social networking website, or if any should change his or her photo. In the end, ink is nearly permanent, so this Social Tattoo may represent a single snapshot of a cyber landscape that's otherwise ever-changing.
