I'm sure the blood type and allergies information would be welcome, but the "if dead" bit may be problematic if you don't follow it up with legal docs.
Recently there was a dilemma in an Emergency Room where a collapsed patient had a DNR tattoo on their chest: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/1...

You’re absolutely right. That was a bit of a joke in reference to exactly that situation, and in retrospect it didn’t come through.

Hah, no actually, I’m half-joking here. I did get hives and bleeding from amoxicillin/clavulanate and my mother has had the same, so it’s probable, but I would definitely want to double-check anything I put on me!
The “If Dead” bit is tongue-in-cheek because it’s probably legally useless, although I guess something like that could function as a way to get in contact with the right people in the event of an emergency, whether for cryo or notifying kin.
Some day I may do something mathematical like a visual proof of a theorem I care about, or some symbol meaningful to me. Or maybe just something like this on my wrist:
