Regardless of the actual tech here, "he turned his tattoos off" has "the door dilated" vibes. Very cool.

This probably has some cool applications for magicians to do unique tricks where certain things appear on their skin.

Why not have e-ink in your skin..

Because skin is not just loosely hanging on but is attached to the tissue below.

Instead of focusing on tattoos, could we work on this being used for bistable displays, like e-ink but using light pulses to transition each pixel?
An alternative to "customizable/dynamic fashion" like this would be tags/markers on people's clothes that are invisible to the naked eye but can be detected by AR glasses, making you appear to have different clothing, accessories, tattoos etc to people wearing those glasses.
But man none of the major company execs have a hint about any of the cool applications of AR sigh

Your auto-immune system does not like ink.

You don't have an "auto-immune system". Auto-immune means your immune system is attacking your own healthy cells.
Tattoos are fine. There's some evidence that maybe, maybe, immune system responses can be impacted by tattoos. But changes in immune system response does not necessarily mean impaired or negative.
