I don't often make personal posts like these, nor have I posted much here in the last year or so, but I thought I might ask you guys for your thoughts on this.
Here's the situation: I've been living with my closest friend for about a year now, but he may be moving out during the summer to gain new experiences living with a group of people. Soon after that, he'll be graduating and moving back home, where I'll hardly ever see him. I had the idea for us to get complimentary tattoos in order to remind us of our unique, brotherly relationship. It's a little out of character for him to do something that bonds him to another person in a physical way, and a little out of character for me to create physical reminders such as the tattoo, but he agreed to it nonetheless, assuming we can create a design that we both approve of that represents our bond.
Bonus info, I plan on being a teacher. He doesn't think it's a very good idea for me to get a tattoo in terms of being professional, but it's something I'm willing to work through. What are your thoughts on this? And if you think it's a bad idea, can you think of another way create a "physical reminder"? I just need a good place to begin thinking.
