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.

A cool concept, but regular daylight making it disappear again sounds pretty annoying.

Despite the limitations, that is dope as heck.
