 Anytime the first three uses for a new technology that pop into your head are CoC violations, it's probably not something the human race really needs right now, lol...

I... uh... hadn't thought of that.  Definetly sounds... interesting...

But if I understand this idea correctly, you're basically putting a bunch of small magnets under your skin the shape of a tattoo, right?  So if they're powerful/sensitive enough for your phone to be able to affect them, doesn't that mean that you'll get a buzz walking past your refrigerator?  What about airport security?

Seems like there's lots of possible side affects.

That said, it would be totally awesome to get a magnetic tattoo of the power symbol on my hip.

You do have to wonder just how far this has been taken.  I mean, if it can pick up your phone, what about the phones around you?  Would you be gettin' a special tickle every time anyone's celly rang?  Still, it's an interesting idea.  Kinda neat.  Kinda kinky, too.  Cuz [Section 2 Violation].  It'd sure make phone [Section 2 violation] more ... inspirational.

Does stamping or spraying onto the skin qualify as a tattoo? I mean, I can see why they wouldn't want to jump right in to putting the stuff under the skin. If it reacts to a phone, imagine what would happen if you got an MRI.
