A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of meeting and laser etching the Macbook Pro of Pramit Nairi. Pramit is an opiniated and brilliant man who came to us with a mission and a message. He wanted to make a simple, but strong statement on his MacBook Pro — Free Tibet!

On Pramit’s blog he explains himself and his feelings about China: “those scumbags [need] to get out of Tibet,” “they are destroying the planet,” and “‘the party’ is probably the worst thing to happen to them and the planet.”

At Etchstar, one of our main goals and pleasures is freedom of speech. Unlike Apple and other laser engraving/etching services, we give you the avenue to say what you please on your gadgets, devices, notebooks, etc. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, you can make a custom appointment to get your gadgets, moleskine, cell phone, business cards, and other objects laser etched/engraved.

Furthermore, when Pramit swung by the Etchstar customization shop on Melrose, he decided to go with the Tibetan Flag — which is beautiful and powerful, check out the process below:
