I'm glad to see that the huge delay produced something other than just an iPod

HP needs to hire a better spell-checker. Though I don't listen to her music, I think it's spelled Carlton, not Carelton.

Too bad you can't download these for free, or can you? If not, what if you already own one of the new iPods and wish to have these on it?

Of course this is yet another plot to drive more sales of HP ink. But hey, that's what HP is all about. Those who think they are a printer company are sadly mistaken.

Can't wait to try some of these on my shiny new 4G iPod!

...the tatoo idea is pretty cool. Thank goodness you can print your OWN designs on special blank tatoo sheets. I assume the designs get printed backwards on the inside of the sheet, so that the design doesn't get immediately scuffed off the exterior. But I'm wondering how the non-stick adhesive back works then. Maybe I'm wrong. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks!

The only thing that I'm a little worried about is that Mac users will be left out in the cold when it comes to the tatoo template software that HP mentions. Not that it'd be too hard to format one yourself, but everything else on the iPod by HP pages only mentions PCs. Not even the iPod itself is listed as being Mac-compatible!

I like the Cure and the Who, but these tatoo examples look like horse $#!%. It distracts from the elegant perfection that is...ipod.

I would think it gets printed on the outside. Better the design gets scuffed than ink gets all over the iPod, even if it is easy to clean off.

Maybe the HP versions will only include PC software? Just a guess.

i Definately think that these tattoo's should be availible to everyone who owns one. its not our fault that they came up with this after we purchased our Ipods.

Accord to this article, the adhesive doesn't come off: http://www.ipodlounge.com/ipodnews_comments.php?id=637_0_7_0_C

I think this is one of the best ideas ever. I am a very unique individual and I really wanted an iPod, not because everyone else had one, but because it is much more convenient to carry an iPod around, rather than tons of cds. However, I had made my cd player my own, there wasn't another one like it anywhere. If i got an iPod, i couldn't do that, and now, with iPod tattoos, i can express myself by simply printing out any design on want on the special paper, and tada!, my individuality has returned!

These things are really cool!!! you can just print them out and paste them on using the HP site's premade ones (they have music artists, fashion designers, and weird urban ones!) or your own images! whichever you choose, they come out great! (well, i have an HP printer-- so i don't know) Unless you have your ipod with you WHEREVER you go, like outside in the hot sun, a LITTLE bit of residue might get on it, but with just a little rubbing, you can fix it. Also, you can take it in the rain without causing smudges! (well, it might burn out the electronics and stuff) All in all, I think its a great idea to make your ipod stand out in the crowd without getting a dinky small 1,000 song ipod mini in a color you want!

Agree that tatoo gives a sense of individualism.

do they have ipod mini tattoo's? i love the idea but i have an ipod mini and i dont see any for the ipod mini and that disapoints me.....

are they making mini tattoos?

No tatoos for iPod mini. Btw, isn't colour of the iPod mini is an indication of individualism?

are the tatoos shiny like a sticker / photo paper shiny or is it just like a big ipod label like the ones that are made of paper stuff?

That's because HP doesn't sell an iPod mini, just the regular size iPods. Too bad, I would have used the tattoo's if they made them for the mini as well. But maybe their sticker won't stick well to the anodized aluminum that the iPod mini is made of.

WHen someone finds some sort of iPod mini tattoo, LET ME KNOW! I'm so sad without one.

The iPod folks might think that the minis are colored so tattoos might look funky when its on diffrent colored minis, but COME ON, ya came up with a whole mp3 player people, why can't you make something to make it personal?????? Thanx fur listenin'. ---Almost mini

I think the tattoo idea is a wonderful creation! It shows your unique personality and maybe even your creative side. I can't wait until I can get a hold of one of these hot printers
