So! Nokia filed a patent for the world’s first vibrating tattoo, to alert users about call, text message or email alerts. Because that’s something people would want. The idea being that Nokia’s haptic tattoo would transmit “a perceivable impulse” through the skin whenever it receives magnetic signals from a phone. The future is gross.

The tattoo uses ferromagnetic ink that contains iron, which is heated to a high temperature before being applied to the user’s skin to temporarily demagnetize it.

Apparently, you can customize the alerts, similar to assigning ‘ring tones,’ or vibration patterns to different contacts—for example, a flutter for a significant other.

Have a great weekend.
