Personalization is all the rage these days. People do anything to be unique and set their stuff apart from everyone else's - etching on mp3 players, skins for your phones - even the old-fashioned tattoo (of course, we're talking about different "stuff" here.) If you've decided that wearing that boring old black bluetooth headset just isn't for you, the Bluetrek Tattoo headset may be just the technological diversion that you're looking for.
Bluetrek definitely sets you up with no shortage of accessories for the Tattoo headset. Aside from the normal home charger, the included car charger is a hybrid set up that includes the cigarette-style plug for your vehicle that makes use of the USB charger cord that they throw in as well. This is a very nice feature. The USB cord is a short, bendable item that plugs into the headset on one end and into the car charger on the other. I don't know about you, but I have enough cords dangling around in my car and this came as a welcome departure. The headset never gets lost on the end of a long cord like other car chargers I've used, and the USB cord can also be used to charge the headset from a USB port on your computer.
Of course, the Tattoo would not live up to its name without the adhesive skins that are included. These skins allow you to truly make this headset your own, however, with the slightly premium price for the headset, I expected more skins to be included. With the growing popularity of personalized headsets, competing products often include upwards of 50 different changeable faces. That being said, the included skins are definitely unique and will, if nothing else, work as a conversation piece. Also included in the package are four different ear buds (Bluetrek calls them ErgoBuds, and be careful, there’s a patent pending on that term) in various sizes and two different ear hooks.
The Bluetrek Tattoo bluetooth headset offers some unique options to try to set it apart from the growing number of headsets on the market. The adhesive skins create a unique, personalized look and the included chargers allow for multiple options for topping the battery off. This lightweight headset has a commendable battery life and good range. However, its main downfall is its outgoing sound quality and static interference that can be a nuisance until you find that spot that is "just right." It'd be nice to see a couple of extra skins thrown in as well.
