Stickers on phones? Cmon. These tattoos just wreak of cheapness...

2. Posted by Pogo Mon May 22, 2006 3:07 am

i think they're kinda cool but i agree the sticker thing is kinda cheap... though id want to see them up close before i stick them on my phone!

Phone tattoos? Riiiiiiiiiiight!!!

Phone Tattoos sound cooler than Phone Stickers...

Personally it looks pretty tacky to me.


5. Posted by GSMDude Tue May 23, 2006 6:06 am

I bet in a few days the stickers would start peeling at the edges. I wouldn't be caught dead with a cell phone tattoo.

IDK. It seems that putting a phone tattoo defeats the purpose of the overall look of a RAZR or SLVR. It's like slapping on a body kit for your car, but thy're all in different colors.

I like to be different and carry a phone that shows my personality and style. I guess I'm the only one that thinks this is kinda cool... even if it is a sticker.

8. Posted by steva11 Tue May 23, 2006 3:11 pm

then the sticker will leave a sticky area when it peels off

9. Posted by booboy Tue May 23, 2006 3:12 pm

Haha... yeah that'll suck having all that adhesive.

10. Posted by veilfore89 Tue May 23, 2006 8:42 pm

Your best bet would be not going for a phone tattoo...agreed, all stickers edges peel, but when you buy an aftermarket case whats the first thing that happens??? The paint on it fades, so whats to say the coloring of a sticker wont do the same..its just temporary and when it goes to waste and you peel it off, it leaves residue that never goes away, or it will, just with lots of unnecessary time, and the best thing you can do is put a new one over it...I say the classic reason is more than good enough, if I were unpleased, I would simply do some kind of enamel paint job on it so it keeps its texture and looks nice still. I've seen it done to a slvr to make it black and it turned out nice, just my opinion though.

11. Posted by peryus88 Tue May 23, 2006 10:54 pm

...some of my friends, like myself, prefer to use epoxy paint over enamel because it is a bit more durable. Of course, when it dries, it feels a little coarse.

12. Posted by veilfore89 Wed May 24, 2006 12:45 pm

Thanks for the tip, haha, I'll have to try that one...epoxy didn't cross my mind..

i have the urban camo ones, they look cool on my phone but id rather take the body panels off and just spray paint them that way it would last longer and look a lot better.

14. Posted by BigRUSS Wed May 24, 2006 3:32 pm

and what will make it look worse are those people who put it on all crooked icon_lol.gif yea i say then looks as bas as those people who put the plastic jewls on there

15. Posted by peryus88 Wed May 24, 2006 3:46 pm

rhinestones...yeaach. I actually saw 1 guy have rhinestones on his phone. Wasn't sure if it was his or not. At least he wasn't using a pink RAZR.

16. Posted by steva11 Wed May 24, 2006 3:58 pm

when i was training, we were listening to calls and some girl called 'cause she lost her phone

2 quotes:

"oh my god, that phone was my life!"

"do you think i can get another rhinestone case? I loved that case!"


17. Posted by peryus88 Wed May 24, 2006 4:14 pm

LOL...jeez. Yeah maybe in the magical kingdom of the bedazzler.

Does anyone remember Tana Goertz from The Apprentice 3, where she lost to Kendra? I think she's the spoksperson for the bedazzler.


18. Posted by BigRUSS Wed May 24, 2006 7:45 pm

i have no idea what you talking about

19. Posted by steva11 Wed May 24, 2006 9:55 pm

we're talking about your mom


baddum chah!


20. Posted by peryus88 Wed May 24, 2006 10:40 pm

i think the lil' tattoos are cute..my boyfriend got me some and i like 'em

22. Posted by Jadall Fri May 26, 2006 8:41 pm

I think the Snap on like body cover things I have seen it's like change your razr's look i'm guessing it's a thin plastic stuff of some sort or another. and it just fits over the phone somehow.. that is what i thought these tatoo's were when i first seen them listed in my systems that never describe what i'm supposed to be selling to people and they wonder why they have people sending back their "travel" charges that don't plug into their cars. or people selling razerwire cases for the razr phone.. even seen one sold to someone with a treo phone.. (it's the case for the $300.00 bluetooth sunglasses)

everyone keeps talking about the residue. they say there's none...at least give it a chance. i love the idea of personalizing phones, and i think the majority of customers do also. that's why we all have ringtones, pictures, etc. i think this is a great, inexpensive, and temporary way to change the way your phone looks. if they made these for mine, i'd be all over it. they don't have to be cheap looking or messy. there's lots of ways to make high quality stickers that have neither of those problems. icon_cool.gif


24. Posted by GSMDude Mon May 29, 2006 2:46 pm

i saw some of the display models in the cingular store. they had some that looked like unprinted areas were transparent, so they were able to do things like add strips and criss-cross patterns. from far away, they look very cool. i stand corrected.

but i can't comment on the quality.


25. Posted by shopshopgal Thu Jun 15, 2006 6:19 pm

I have tattoos for my Razr and I love them. They are not cheesy, they do not peel off after a few days and best of all I have customized and unique designs on mine so it doesn't look like everyone elses. They are just fun things.

26. Posted by inthepink Sun Jun 18, 2006 3:23 pm

Paris hilton used to cover her cell with swarovski crystals years ago(she did it herself) and Im thinking of doing my razr pink in a crystal monogram..It's not cheap.you can get the crystals(real)with flat bottoms in michaels..can you imagine what that would cost in a boutique...Personally I would not bad mouth a product unless I tried it....

27. Posted by H82typ Thu Jun 22, 2006 4:43 pm

I've got nooo reception, but my phone looks mahvelous... PFFT! lol

28. Posted by Big Monkey Fri Jun 23, 2006 3:20 pm

i think these silly things are a waste of time. First of all because, sure the make your phone look cool but, think you have a sticker on your phone what if you want to change the look of your phone you are screwed because you've got a stupid sticker on it. Sry if I insulted anyone but think logicly they are a waste of your time and money. icon_biggrin.gif

29. Posted by booboy Fri Jun 23, 2006 4:23 pm

youd be surprised by the number of people who buy these stickers. they're super cheap to manufacture too. brilliant business if you ask me.

30. Posted by MontanaAngel Fri Jul 04, 2008 11:25 pm

icon_biggrin.gif These Tats.are actually pretty cool. For one.they don't leave an adhesive on your phone if you want to take it off.

I have the Diamond Plate looking one on mine.and I get alot of compliments on it.looks pretty cool. It protects it from getting scratched too. I have a barbed wire one also.I like em.

I thought they would leave a sticky surface too.but it doesn't. I put one back on the paper it came on.and used a diff. one. So you can use them over again.
I've had mine on for over a year now. Doesn't peel off like you might think.
Its a heavier type of a paper they use.

Just my input on the subject for you that wonder about them.
Their cheap.so give a go. Theres some pretty cool lookin ones out there. icon_wink.gif

Yeah your right.these tats are pretty cool. I use them.I like em. They don't leave a Residue.if they did.I wouldn't use them.
I think people who like a little change should try them.it will help them keep their Warranty on their phones too.cuz once you take that plate off.thats it.that warranty is no good. Alot of people don't realize that .


32. Posted by evilgeniusmojo Tue Jul 15, 2008 8:04 am

i think i'll pass on these lol

33. Posted by MontanaAngel Tue Jul 15, 2008 5:29 pm

Im tellin ya.they are pretty snazzy.lol icon_wink.gif

34. Posted by mazarebacha Tue Jul 22, 2008 12:46 am

I dont like phone have tattoos!

35. Posted by MontanaAngel Tue Jul 22, 2008 11:11 am

36. Posted by H82typ Tue Jul 29, 2008 11:18 am

Be nice! With connectivity issues, "walled garden" issues, cellphone company ripoffs, etc. it's nice to see all some people are worried about are friggin' phone tatoos. :p
