Sidekick LX Tattoo
Some of us really love the Sidekick. We wear Danger shirts, put stickers wherever we can, show off features to friends, and are probably considered “fan boys/girls” to most people. But some people really, really love the Sidekick. So much so that they want it to be a permanent part of them. First there was the Sidekick II tattoo, then Volcom got his Danger symbols tattoo, and now we bring you Wanda, who is the proud owner of a charm bracelet tattoo that includes a Sidekick LX.
Mike, one of the Hiptop3.com writers, had a chance to ask her a few questions:
What made you decide to get a sidekick tattoo?
I wanted a charm bracelet tattoo and all the charms had to represent me in some way. Everyone who knows me, thinks I’m obsessed with my phone, and maybe I am a little. I fell in love with the sidekick back when they came out with the sk color, but I couldn’t afford one just yet. No matter what phones come out, none of them compare (in my eyes) to the sidekick. So, it was a given that IT had to be one of the charms. Even if they never make another sidekick, it’ll always be with me. Plus, my bracelet would look kind of silly with only four.
Who designed the artwork?
The tattoo artist. I told her what kind of phone it was and she did the rest. She actually drew the whole bracelet for me.
When did you get your first Sidekick?
2005 (the sidekick 2)
How many sidekicks have you owned?
Four, the sidekick 2, sidekick 3, sidekick lx and sidekick lx 09
Tell me more about the Sidekick User Group (Geezers) you are in:
I started out as just a member, then I became the owner. Its a group for us “older” folks who just happen to have sidekicks. Although some of our members have crossed to the dark side and gotten other devices. We’re a mature crowd and talk about pretty much anything, without the vulgar language that sometimes comes with online groups. Anyone with a mobile device can join, as long as you’re 25 or older and willing to behave 
.
If someone over 25 wants to join SidekickGeezers, how do they sign up??
Go to this link http://groups.google.com/group/SidekickGeezers?hl=en and request membership. They have to first sign up with their mobile address.
Nice tattoo Wanda and thanks for taking the time to answer some questions! If you want to see the rest of the chram bracelet, check out the gallery:

I really love that tattoo, very cute and unique. I’m 26 and I adore my sidekick, its just a great phone. I’m new to the whole SK game, but I can see why people keep buying them. I won’t be getting an SK tattoo lol, but if another one comes out I’m definitely picking it up.

Uughhh. Lol. Well good for him…or her. Personally, I love the sidekick but NOT that much!

I’m a she. The tattoo is kinda girly or so I thought lol.

Great article! I have a serious love affair going on with my sidekick as well.

Id rather get a lil android robot guy over a sidekick not just cause I love my g1 and cause its better then a sidekick but because when you get older your kids will atleast know android sidekicks will be long gone forgotten.
Cute tat thou

in a single word – dumb.
why put a commercial advertisement on your body? What is the appeal? Are you getting paid for it?
I’m sure tattoo removal will be more common when you are older and want this to be removed.
June 10th, 2009 at 12:42 pm [ Quote ]
It has an appeal for me. I like it, and that’s all that matters, I’ll never change my mind, plus I’m already old anyway.

I think it’s adorable! And why are people criticizing her? God forbid she do whatever she likes with HER body..

i own 4 tattoo shops in nyc, and god is that a horrible tattoo, not ragging on you for the idea, cause i deal with people all day every day with giving them what they want, but when you’re going to advertise a product on your body, do it right at least, that’s really a horrible tattoo, please tell me that you paid no more than like 40 bucks for it, i would charge around 200-250 for that

Oh wow . . .
The kick is looking kinda crappy for my taste.
But hey as long as she likes it.
Let her be!!!!!

For anonymous: I’m not advertising, this is just a crude drawing that “represents” my love for my sidekick. It wasn’t supposed to be extravagant or a stand alone tattoo. It is just a “charm” or part of a whole which is around my wrist. I paid $100 for the entire bracelet and I think she (my tattoo artist) did an excellent job, especially drawing the whole thing from scratch. I’m sure you’re good at what you do too, but I’d never pay that much for any tattoo no matter how good it was. So, I’ll say it again I love MY tattoo and that’s all that matters to me.

I’m sure I wouldn’t like the tattoos on most people, but it doesn’t matter what I think. What is the point of ME telling someone their “art” sucks? Anyway, I think the tattoo is cute. And you got it at a very good price.

Its a pretty cool idea and its hella cute. To all the haters.. STFU. Get a life, get over yourself, and another thing that I’m SURE you already know.. NOBODY CARES. See? Noone gives an eff what you think. Grow up, cheer up, and get a damn life! Lol
Btw: Annon. Posters suck aaaayesss!!!!

if you wouldn’t pay $200-250 for a decent tattoo, it’s a shame what you are going to end up with. you get what you pay for.

Dang, you guys are so critical!! Kudos to Wanda for being such a good sport thru all of this. I think tattoos are a form of self-expression. If Wanda is satisfied with it, that is enough.

This tatoo is idiotic. When you get old you’re going to question your stupidity haha and the tatoo looks horrible. My goodness I don’t get people these days… It’s a good idea but it looks horrible to me atleast. Just my 2 cents
June 15th, 2009 at 6:22 am [ Quote ]
you haters all need to stfu and gtfo. if you don’t like it, don’t comment. nobody cares about your oppinion.
she did what she wanted to do, and good for her. we don’t want to hear about whether you would get it or not, or tell her it was drawn badly (I think it was done quite well), if there is one thing I can’t stand after I get something done, it is insensitive douche bags who tell me it looks bad, after a while, I start to believe it too, no matter how much I liked it to begin with.
wanda, ignore them and enjoy your ink

This is just stupid!
What’s this ? Cross ?? ridiculous. Read the bible!!!
“You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD. ” (Leviticus 19:28, NKJV)
It also does not give us any reason to believe God would have us get tattoos or body piercings.
June 15th, 2009 at 12:43 pm [ Quote ]
The “tattoo” marks described in Leviticus 19:28 were clearly related to false religious practices. The word translated tattoo in our English Bibles is the Hebrew word “qa aqa”, this word appears only one time in the Bible, here in this passage Leviticus. The word “qa aqa” means literally “to cut” but taken with the surrounding words indicates a cutting that left a mark imprinted in the skin.
(Is 15:2; Je 16:6; 41:5)
See ? Don’t do that.. Obey in the name of God.

Seeing as we’re a month into summer, how about some new on the laser etched backplate that I supposedly available to us “in the summer”?
Or perhaps some news on the Sidekick getting Flash as well (cause Android phones are getting it according to an article from a couple weeks ago)?
Or, maybe some news on the “other” Sidekick(s) that are supposed to come out this year, whether they be different models or just “limited edition”?
There HAS to be something going on…
Unless there is nothing cause Microsoft dismantled the Danger team…

F&%k your sidekick LX O9 for 200 dollars. YOU can’t use anything on it but the phone and the text if you can even find somebody to unlock it. Just went through this with my sidekick 2008. Everybody says it can be unlocked then surprise: Nobody knows why the code can’t be found. So I had to ******* sign up with t-mobile to use the ******* thing. So nobody buy a sidekick unless you are already with T-Mobile. Worthless. I like my phone don’t get me wrong but I don’t like people lying about how they can be unlocked. I tried damn near every unlock website on the internet and kept getting refunds cuz they couldn’t unlock it and t-mobile sure as hell wouldn’t unlock it. Oh and wanda, that tatoo is a little rough, but hey if you like it then **** everybody else.

Okay like I love my sidekick that’s like my baby I don’t go anywhere without it…but to get a tattoo of your sidekick is just pointless I think tattoos are extremly pointless unless you have a good meaning to it like why fuckk upp your skin and get a sidekick tattooed on you that’s gunna stay on your body til your old && shrively no this tattoo is wack as **** and to love your fone is one this but to love it to the point where you get it tattooed on you your a complete idiott … okay I’m done here sidkicks are amazing but tattoos of it you gotta be a douche bag…
