The only tatoo I've seen that really means anything to me is the one on my uncle's arm........the US Marine Corps ensignia.

The rest of'em I've seen just assures me that the bearer just didn't (or still doesn't) have his head on straight, and was looking for something he could 'look like' as opposed to making a statement with the kind of person you are and your actions.......not smoke and mirrors.
So, my advice to you is.....let your friends go screw themselves up by themselves......and you take care of you. Go ask your Mom what she thinks about the idea.
