When I save a photo for a Contact profile on my iPhone does that person see the photo?

I saved a photo of my friend falling off of his bike as the image in my contacts. It's a very funny picture. However, I don't want him to text someone and for that picture to be subscribed to his number so other people can see it. Can someone tell me if I'm just being stupid, or if that is actually the case?

Your being well as you put it "kinda stupid" only you see the photo no one else

Yes, he will be able to see it and you should also get Leo Privacy Guard in order to gain utmost security when you own them.
