It seems like everyone has a RAZR phone these days. What used to be a cool, cutting-edge gadget has joined the iPod in the ranks of culturally saturated status symbols. It's time to stand out from the crowd a little bit. Motorola is set to start offering "tattooed" versions of its ubiquitous clamshell, featuring designs by Ami James of the cable quasi-hit Miami Ink. He'll be making designs exclusively for Motorola, who with then laser etch them on the phones for eager customers. Just think of how well the Chinese dragon design pictured above will compliment your mistranslated Chinese character tattoo! You're a true original! The idea of getting laser-etched designs on your phone is cool, although I kind of wish Motorola would let people design their own for a nominal fee. Dragons are radical and all, but with just a couple of designs available they'll be just as unoriginal as the phone they're etched on in a matter of weeks. There's no word on pricing or availability of this service yet. — Adam Frucci
