Vibrating Tattoo Ink
Believe it or not It could be an option in the future! Not only will your tattoo vibrate, but it activates when your cell phone rings or you recieve a text message.
While I was researching fun facts for a blog, I came across an article on omg-facts.com that it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that Nokia has applied for a patent to design tattoo ink that would vibrate when your cell phone rings. The patent describes ‘a material attachable to skin, which is capable of detecting a magnetic field and transferring a perceivable stimulus to the skin.’ The practical use of this, is a removable vibrating tattoo.
While the technology isn’t specific and could be used in many different ways, the patent makes it clear that embedding the material is the main use. It talks about using ‘ink enriched by ferromagnetic or paramagnetic compounds.The patent application was first discovered by the blog Unwired View’s Vlad Bobleanta, who said, “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.”
So you tell me…..would you get a vibrating tattoo?
