TAPESCRIPT
Too many status updates--remove. Too many Farmville invites-- de-friend. Really - nothing is forever on Facebook--unless, of course-- it’s inked. San Francisco’s KPIX has the needles.
“A Facebook user has become her own social network. Almost a quarter of a million people have watched this YouTube video. This woman is getting an arm tattoo of all her Facebook buddies. She says all 152 friends gave her permission to use their profile pictures. Wow man.”
The Daily Mail says the woman-- only known by her YouTube handle, Suzyj87-- has been working on her tattoo for months-- and her daredevil move has raised some interesting questions...
“What happens if you lose one of those Facebook friends?”
“What about when I change my profile picture? Change the tattoo?”
“Or if she makes anymore friends, where does she put those? In her new arm? ”
An anchor from LA’s KNBC says before we get too caught up with this story-- is the tat even real?
“Lots are questioning if this is real or some sort of publicity stunt. Look at the process, no redness, no bleeding. No word from the YouTube user if this is real or fake.”
Mashable thinks the friend-focused ink was inspired by rapper T-Pain’s “Like” button tattoo.
And a PC Mag blogger says - let’s be real - we’re dealing with Facebook fanatics here.
“(Remember the) Israeli couple who recently named their daughter ‘like’ after the same (Facebook) button.... (and) … the Egyptian man who simply named his daughter ‘Facebook’. At least (he) had the excuse that the social networking site played a communications role in the grassroots uprising...”
And a CNN blogger writes- like it or not- it’s got people talking.
“And hey, art is art, right? But you know what else art is – subjective. And it's apparent the same social media circles she drew inspiration from for her mosaic-style Facebook ink feel strongly about whether it's a cool, personal idea, or the most ridiculous thing on the planet.”
The anonymous tattoo-bearer says she understands if people don’t like her new ink-- but it’s a personal expression that means a lot to her.
