1. A method of forming a holographic tattoo, comprising:
- a) forming a first distribution of a first light modulating material in a first plurality of locations in a first level of the skin of a subject; and
b) forming a second distribution of a second light modulating material in a second plurality of locations in a second level of said skin;
wherein said first plurality of locations and said second plurality of locations are selected such that said first and second distributions of light modulating materials form a hologram within said skin.

31. A method of forming a holographic tattoo comprising:
-
a) delivering a photoreactive material into a skin region of a subject, said skin region containing a target volume having a length, width, and depth; and
b) delivering targeted light to a plurality of locations within said target volume, said targeted light sufficient to cause reaction of said photoreactive material to produce a light modulating material within said target volume at each of said plurality of locations, said plurality of locations selected so that said light modulating material at said plurality of locations is capable of forming a holographic image when exposed to light of at least one selected wavelength and the resulting scattered light is interfered with a reference beam of at least one selected wavelength. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 57)

40. A method of forming a tattoo design, comprising:
-
a) detecting at least one light interference pattern from an object to be depicted in a tattoo;
b) determining a volume representation of said light interference pattern for a volume corresponding to the area and thickness of a skin region capable of receiving said tattoo; and
c) storing said volume representation in digital format. - View Dependent Claims (41, 44, 58)
