Chloroplasts injection/tattoo?

Would it be possible to "inject" or tattoo chloroplasts into a human or vertebrate and have them produce energy for said organism?

I feel like just injecting plant cells wouldnt work for the body needs to communicate intercellularly via proteins and hormones if i understand and cells also have their own life cycle, so whenever the cells containing these chloroplasts would die, that would be "it", so to speak. Would we even have the catabolic pathways possible for that?

I know the idea is silly anyways, since photosynthesis doesnt produce alot of Energy anyways, but it would be cool in a way.
