I love the flavour of the idea. It reminds me of how heraldic wizards in Star Ocean had symbols tattooed on their body for power. Â
I wonder if you could find a way of using /random to determine the outcome of specific instances or something. Some people would gain powers, some people would gain injuries, rolling a 001 means permanent loss of limb. I'm probably being silly.
Actually the best way to go about this would be to have a bit of back-and-forth shared creativity between you and the person receiving the tattoo. You would determine how you intend the experiment to work out, and perhaps the other roleplayer would decide how their body actually reacted to it. Since you have the freedom to be choosy about whom you experiment on, you should be able to do some basic quality control to get around the worry that you'll simply be giving people "Mary Sue implants." It would be neat if you afforded your subjects the RP freedom to throw you some curve balls that you would then have to incorporate into your data.
The risk of course is that you are going to be drawing conclusions entirely from fan-made lore, so again, I'd be careful about choosing participants to make sure they are not going to be completely unreasonable or lore-breaking.
