Motorola unveils a tattoo that unlocks a cellphone

Would you get a tattoo that would unlocked your phone?

Motorola and VivaLnk.com have partnered to create temporary tats you can wear that will unlock your Moto X. It isn’t the usual ink tat but a press-on, digital tat. The companies say the tattoo will last about five days each and are sold in packs of 10 for $9.99.

Motorola says a person, on average, takes 2.3 seconds to unlock their phone and does this 39 times a day.

“It’s another step in making it easier to unlock your phone on the go and keep your personal information safe,” Motorola says on its blog.

A year ago Motorola launched Skip, a clip-on device, to unlock the Moto X.
