Make proto author David sent me a link to this interesting new service "Etchamac.com custom laser etches PowerBooks and iPods. A full PowerBook case (top or bottom) runs $200 while iPods are around $40. Pretty slick." I think in the future the tattoo artist and their shops will add nice laser cutters to their businesses. You'll go in with your ibook/powerbook/ipod/laptop thingie and either choose a design, or bring in your own. Perhaps they'll even pierce that USB port too. [via] Link.

the samples are all just superimposed vector-art though, aren't they? anybody found any photos of the actual etching results?
