So, you’ve got yourself a brand new iPad. But, the trouble is, it looks like every other iPad out there, right? Even if you have a GelaSkin over it, you know that it’s still just an iPad under there. What if you want something more . . . Long term? Well, you could give your iPad a tattoo. Yep. A permanent branding, all your own. Just like you would on your own body, right?

That’s exactly what Marcos Payan did. On April 3rd, at 8PM, Payan entered the Fusion of Ideas storefront in Irvine, California, and handed over his iPad to the laser engraving artists therein. He told them that he wanted something personal. He wanted something that, without a shadow of a doubt, explained him. What’d he choose? Ghostbusters.

DigitalTechToo is the service that offers the laser engraving, and you can get any image you want engraved onto the back of your iPad, in any part of it you like. As you can see from the image, the level of detail is pretty much amazing. As we said, this is a tattoo for your iPad, so just like before you make the decision to ink your skin for the rest of your life, you better make sure that your design is what looks best for your iPad for forever.

  1. This is amazing.... I would be scared to hear prices though...
  2. Apple could be offering free iPad engraving. This can be a move just in time for holiday gift shopping. iPod engraving was first offered a few years back and has proven to be a very popular option. I found this here: iPad engraving and other ways to decorate your geek toys Plus, there are other opportunities for improving the look of your iPad that go far beyond just 2 lines of iPad engraving.
