Wanna get a tattoo minus the pain of needles? Then get it etched into your phone instead!

Motorola has released their new series of RAZR phones with tattoo designs etched on the front and back casing. So far Motorola has only released this one, with the dragon tattoo image, but assures us that they will come out with more designs by Ami James, the lead tattoo artist of the hit TV show "Miami Ink."

Motorola execs said that the idea of putting laser-etched tattoos on their Razrs is a product of a brainstorming session as to how they can sustain the already record-breaking sales of the RAZR phones. Jeremy Dale, VP for Motorola, believes that tattooed Razrs will be a hit with an even bigger market because "People today are looking to make personal statements, with the clothes that they wear, the bars that they go to. And their phones have become a fashion item."

If Motorola is going for the strategy of combining individuality with technology, this seems to be a step in the right direction. However, they would also have to ask themselves who will be most likely to buy a phone that sports a tat. People with tattoos? Those who want to get inked but are too afraid of needles? Rockers and non-conformists? We don't know yet, and looks like we'll have to wait till Christmas this year to find out.
