Vibrating Tattoo

[Mondo]

According to the Wall Street Journal, someone has filed a patent for "vibrating tattoos." And it wasn't just anyone -- the patent was filed by Nokia. What use could one have for a so-called vibrating tattoo, you ask? That's not 100 percent clear yet, but it's not as aimless as it sounds. The tattoo would vibrate when the wearer received a text, phone call, or e-mail. (Yes, people. It's happening.)

 

Unwired View describes the innovation in detail: "The tattoo would be applied using ferromagnetic inks. The ink material would first be exposed to high temperatures to demagnetize it. Then the tattoo would be applied. You'll apparently be able to choose the actual image you want as the tattoo. The procedure is identical to that of getting a 'normal' tattoo -- only the ink is special." Do you think the idea of a vibrating tattoo -- and the fact that we're so close to it -- is wonderful or wacky?

 

Hmmm, the pervert in me has some ideas...

Is it tuned to just your cell phone or will it go off if some other phone rings near you?

I was in a bar the other day and the guy next to me starts talking into his hand. I asked him what he was doing and he said, he got tired of losing his cell phone so he had this new device implanted in his hand that made his hand a cell phone. The mic was in his pinky and the earphone was in his Thumb.

 

Pretty cool. He gets up and goes to the bathroom and after about fifteen minutes I had to go, and when I walked into the restroom, there he was Spread eagle up against the wall with a roll of Toilet paper stuck up between his legs.

 

I asked him what was going on, had he been mugged? And he said "No I'm just waiting for a Fax" :smilielol5: :rofl:

Well you don't want to get a call from Mom via a vibrating tattoo between your legs.
