What new idea does Nokia have to alert you that you're receiving a call or text message?

Answer: a vibrating tattoo

A new patent filed by Nokia describes a piece of fabric that can be attached to your skin, that will also alert you if you have a call, Mashable reports, and vibrations could be customized depending on the person calling or type of message you're receiving. 

"In addition to being attached to your body in fabric form, the patent also suggests producing the same effect with ferromagnetic ink in the form of a tattoo," according to Mashable. Before placing the ink in the body, it would be demagnetized, and would be re-magnetized once the tattoo was complete.
