HiTechTattoos: Custom laser etch your iPod, iPhone, Cell Phones, Laptops, Macbook, and any other gadgets.

Laser etched Asus laptop

As you probably know by know, we etch mostly Apple products. Most of their products are made of metal, specifically steel or aluminum which looks great etched. But sometimes we have people walking into the office that are looking to get other types or products/laptops laser etched. And today Nikhil walked in looking to get [...]

Our first laser etched iPhone4

Wow, it has been a while since our last post here. I guess it means we are quite busy with a variety of projects. Today we laser etched our first iPhone4! We were a bit nervous about etching this all glass phone. We started off slowly by running the laser at very low power just [...]

Laser etch your iPad for free.

UPDATE: we still have 2 free iPad etching to give away. These have been coming in slowly, but when the iPad finally is released in Canada on May 28, they will go fast. Book your free laser etching of your iPad today.

The iPad has finally been released. Although it hasn’t yet been released here in Canada, I went for a little drive into the US this weekend and stopped at the Apple store at Walden Galleria.

I must say: the iPad is a great looking device. It feels great in your hand and the display is absolutely amazing. As soon as I picked it up, I looked at the back and you have this large empty space, waiting to get customized. The backing is made of the same material as the original iPhone, anodized aluminum, which etches just amazingly well.

So, for the first 3 customers that come to our Toronto location to get theirs done, they can get it free.

Laser Etched Aluminum Portfolio

This was an interesting etching! Several customers (college students mainly) came over to the studio in the last 6 months to laser etch their Pina Zangaro Machina aluminum portfolios with their own custom designs but we always had problems with the etching and actually had to turn away a few people. The problem? Well, I [...]

Sportsnet Hottest Bartender ’10 Etching

We were extremely excited when approached by Sportsnet to laser etch and manufacture the awards for the “Sportsnet Hottest Bardtender ’10″.

This project required some manufacturing and assemble that we weren’t too familiar with, but with the schematics and specifications from the Sportsnet creative department, the results were great. The awards look really cool and it was lot’s of fun working on these.

HiTechTattoos on Pimp My PC

A couple of weeks ago… last year, we had the crew of the show Pimp My PC at our office to learn what we do, how we do it and how cool laser etching your tech really is.

From the show: Lucas is sleeved out with Star Wars tattoos, making him look a bit like an enforcer in some kind of sci-fi Yakuza. Carrying around a decidedly factory default-looking laptop is not befitting a man who clearly holds customization near to his heart.

Tkaro Glass Water Bottle – Laser Etched

Our friends at Tkaro Inc. are about to launch their new beautiful glass water bottle and we teamed up with them to give you the option of ordering your water bottle with your own custom etching. This is not just another water bottle! The body of the bottle is brushed stainless steel but the actual container is made of glass, with the steel cover protecting the glass when the bottle is not being used. This bottle looks amazing!

The bottle will be available in November 2009 but you can already pre-order yours at www.tkaro.com

Custom Laser Etched VIP Game Cards

We were approached by our friend Mike from The Game Cartel to create custom laser etched VIP cards for members of the media and other VIP guests to try the newly launched website for the cartel.

The design was provided to us, which looked really cool, and we had to produce several cards, with variable media, i.e., different Username and Password on each card to allow the VIP guest to login to the Cartel website and try out the new features.

Laser etched Velvet

Well… another different type of item etched! Laser etched velvet! Our friend Kerry came over to etch 3 large pieces of high quality velvet for the upholstery of a chair.
There were a few different challenges in getting this done: the size of the velvet pieces was a problem. Fitting all that material inside the laser while keeping it flat was not easy. But Kerry being a designer, found a nice way to fold it and leave some excess hanging out the front of the laser.

Laser etched Amazon Kindle 2

A couple of days ago we etched our very first Amazon Kindle 2. It’s a great little e-book reader so we got a call to etch several of these, we got all excited! Wohoo… a new item to etch.

The etched turn out great on the back of the unit, which was customized with the owner’s name and a company logo. Also, we were asked to etch the leather sleeve for the Kindles, which also turned out great. All the units were etched with different names and were ready for delivery the next day.
