O2 iPhone TattooI have a few tats and I feel that it’s a way of self-expression. All the ink on my body means something to me.

O2 has opened some phone tattoo parlours in London and Manchester so you can personailse your new blower.

New and upgrading customers can get their new phone tattooed for no extra cost all through December

There are 500 designs to pick from – from animals to anchors, butterflies to band logos.

You can also pick a font and get anything written on there instead – although you’re not allowed enough letters to type GadgetyNews; 9 characters and you’re done.

Phone tattooing will be available in two shops – the flagship O2 shop on Oxford Street, and the Manchester Arndale Centre.

Customers can choose their design once they get to the store or flick through the art books at o2phonetattoos.co.uk, where they can pick an image and see what it’ll look like on their phone.

Where to go:
O2, 368 Oxford Street, London W1C 1JW
O2, Unit 168, Arndale Centre, Manchester, M4 2HU

Show me your results :)

Thanks Jack!

Datamancer are known for creating wonderfully steampunky contraptions and have already produced groovy keyboards such as the Scrabble Keyboard and the Aviator Keyboard.
But the coolest so far in my opinion is this: the Datamancer Deco Keyboard.
The keys are similar to the Aviator but you also get a black reflective acrylic faceplate, bright white LEDs, and a frame [...]

Thumbnail image for Neuma Hybrid Tattoo Needle Gun – Eco Buzz

Those who know me will already be aware that I like inked skin – not silly cartoon characters or names of lovers: I mean body art that means something to the wearer and will continue to mean something when the ink has faded and the skin gone wrinkly.

If you think that fireside rugs are a place to feel warm, safe and perhaps amorous then the creation from Longoland may alter those perceptions.

But it has become huge; both financially and culturally. 
So much so that people are taking steps to ensure the [...]
