Nanite Tattoo

Powered by microscopic robots with colour-changing capabilities, nanite tattoos are a popular surgical trend which allow the patient to display changing or moving tattoos.

Nanite tattoos are implanted using nanites and be controlled using mental commands. Like modern tattoos, they do need touch-ups as the nanites wear out after a decade or so. These nanites are programmed to interact with an advanced interplanetary network controlled by satellites which give them access to billions upon billions of reference images to use when creating designs imagined by the host. They were originally inspired by chameleon technology, allowing the change of pigmentation in their plasmetal bodies. Functionally invisible alone, but a few grouped together in a cell and they work like a pixel. A few billion across many cells and they can make a reasonably sized tattoo which can change at will and even animate to a degree.
