That sounds like a very creative idea to me and can also help with streamlining some basic things if it's something a character commonly does.
I kind of do something similar with Jancis' conjurer ability to heal where she has natural items on her person or weaved into her gloves so she can heal without having to hit/point at everyone with a wand or a staff if she can touch them. She'll also conjure water to knock people away from her, but beyond being in physical touching range she'd need a true natural weapon to be of any magical use.
I wonder if that ink would have any side effects of being in the skin. Another creative way to view it. Or if someone else knew the spell and saw it could use it against the inked arcanist?
What a twist!
