Want a vibrating tattoo that alerts you to a call? Nokia does (Cnet - Crave )

This sketch was filed with Nokia's patent application.

Here's one you wouldn't necessarily expect to come out of a big mobile
company.

Nokia has filed for a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that
would allow a tattoo and a user's phone to communicate. Using haptic feedback,
or as Nokia calls it, "a perceivable impulse," users would be alerted to a new
call, text message, or e-mail right from the tattoo. The application was filed
last September and became public last week.

Nokia is using magnetic waves to create the effect and noted in the patent
application that its technology could be extended to an invisible tattoo for
those who don't want to show their phone-friendly ink walking around town. In
a more likely scenario, the technology might also be applied to a visible
image, sign, or badge.

It's important to note that companies attempt to patent their creations all
the time, and the vast majority of them end up filed away, never to be used
again. This one has a high likelihood of receiving that fate. After all, with
this implementation, Nokia or one of its partners would have to get into ...

How do you draw/sketch tattoos on paper?

Are you talking about creating a design on paper for a tatoo? If so, you start with a simple line drawing in pencil on a very smooth paper, like hot press or hotplate bristol. Use a 1B or B pencil, or maybe something alittle harder, like an H pencil (graphite)--you get these in the art supply section of your local craft store. Then you can draw over that with either a fine line permanent marker (test it on a scrap of the same paper to make sure the ink doesn't bleed a thicker line than you want--also you may want to ventilate the room if you use it for more than a few minutes, as the fumes can be toxic), or use a really Good Quality ball point pen. You should know, though, that ball-point pen ink will eventually bleed alittle and soak through the paper. Also, if you want to get rid of the pencil lines, use the permanent marker, because the ball-point pen will smear. Let the marker dry overnight before you try to erase the pencil lines. Use a grey kneaded eraser to erase the pencil. [It's called a kneaded eraser because you have to knead it, pull it, stretch it, twist it and wad it up again. This softens it and makes it useable, and also works the graphite into it if it gets smudgey-thick on the surface of the eraser.] Failing the hot press/plate paper, just use a heavy weight good quality typing or printing paper.

If you are talking about making a desing on paper that can then be transfered to the skin like a decal tatoo--I don't really know, but Caran d'Ache (pronounced: Karon dawsh) is a brand of art materials that makes water soluable color pencils and crayons/pastels that could be used in this way. Look them up at an art supply website, or at your local craft store. The manufacturer will also have a website with ideas about how to use these products.
