I'm sure it's on someone's list.

There's been enough scifi with animated tattoos that I think it has to happen. :)

It exists already! (kind of... the ink is implanted but the active part is a gadget) https://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/moodinq-tattoo.shtml

That product is actually an April Fool's prank, as shown by the little winky face box at the very bottom of the page. I was fooled for quite a while as well.

Damn it! That explains there are no action shots or anything...

I hope it exists one day... How would it work?
