My magecat has done this, though it was with scarification rather than a tattoo. The scars serve as the guides and her own aether serves as the magic which would normally run in the enchanted ink. It's a protection spell, similar to the Echo but not as potent and without the translation bit, and it is in constant effect. The spell is a giant rune that is scarred into her back, and was carved using a tiny tangible "blade" of aether by her husband.
Is it possible by lore? Dunno, it's neither explicitly denied or supported. But I do it anyway, because it's fucking metal.
