One of my character (Tommy) begin to work on a regular basis with a media corporation.
He has to assume a new identity, and a concept has been developed around the maori culture.
Tommy need to be able to have two face : his own plus another one with darker skin and a maori tatoo covering more than half of his head.
I have searched for different technology to achieve that and yet I have found 2 :
A) dermal sheet + rutenium ---- this one surely works ... at a price !!!
I does a lot more than just what I need.
B) nanotatoo can travel from the face to the skin under the hair, thus becoming hidden.
I am not sure the nanotatoo can be controlled - M&M say they can be programmed, does that mean the tatoo change his state on a fixed time - like a animated .gif does, or can I decide when the tatoo change his state ?
A cosmetic color spray will be needed for the skin anyway - that is a trouble, as it could mask partially the tatoo.
I am searching for a simpler (and cheaper ?) solution, like polarised pigmentations that could be either black / invisible at will / the skin color spray can be used if needed.
Has someone got ideas ?
