Macworld 2008: Would You Tattoo Your Tech?

GeekSugar — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 09:00:48 PST

We've all seen engravings on iPods and laptops, but I don't think I've seen them look quite so tattoo-like as I did at ETCHamac's booth at Macworld. ETCHamac does custom engraving exclusively for Apple products (which you can now purchase new from their website and choose a design), and is newly engraving iPhones as well. I would definitely have a hard time choosing a design to tattoo on my body, but maybe it could be a low-commitment substitute to put it on my laptop instead?! Then again, Apple's products are so well-designed that I would have a hard time messing up their pristine surfaces. Have any of you engraved your gadgets, or would you?

Personalize Your iPad

Looking for the perfect way to distinguish your iPad from others? May we present: laser engraving. In a Flash Laser, a company out of North Carolina, goes beyond the basic name and message engraving offered by Apple at time of purchase. Ship the company your iPad free of charge, or arrange through their preferred Apple vendor to have a new device purchased and sent directly to their studio.

The detailed precision of the work on the iPad aluminum is impressive - check out their portfolio for artwork inspiration. Work with the company directly to nail down a perfect design. This is great for practical tech owners, as the customization should not void the Apple Care warranty, since it doesn't directly affect any of the components - whew!

Engraving is $79.99 per iPad and is also available at varying price levels for iPhone 4, iPod Touch, Nook, Kindle and laptops. We'd love to see the finished product if any readers have a gadget engraved.
