<p>Unfortunately I don't think these four characters form a sentence or phrase.
My guess is this comes from someone's tattoo because these four characters are very common in U.S. But I have never seen them appearing together...</p>

<p>I know that separately they should mean something like "beauty", "love", "friend", "mad", but written like this, do they form a sentence?</p>

source? internet search seems to confirm that this is an uncommon combination, even 友狂 seems to be uncommon, 从何而来？正如互联网搜索会证实那样，这很可能算是一个罕见组合字，甚至"友狂"太罕见

I bet 50 cents: these random characters come from a tattoo.

I second the tattoo bet. On a white dude with long hair and a permanent, hazy, mile stare.
