Tattoos that ‘Ring’ with Your Smartphone

Nokia-vibrate-phone-tattoo

The cell phone company, Nokia, has invented a technology that allows a tattoo to ‘ring’ (more like a tingle or itch) whenever someone calls or sends a notification. The technology involves magnetized tattoo ink, which means your existing tatt probably won’t work, unless you add onto it with some of the magnetized stuff. The ink works in conjunction with your cell phone, using a technology known as “haptic feedback,” which is basically the same things that allows your Nintendo Wii controller to function.

Every time your phone receives a notification, it sends out a signal that will be picked up by the magnetized ink, causing your skin to ‘buzz’. No word on if you will eventually be able to create different sensations for your different callers, such as a tingle for your girlfriend, an itch for your parents, or a minor shock for your mother-in-law. We’ll keep you posted.
