I do both. Name, address and next of kin contact details on a bit of card on my person and in my saddle bag. The same plus a whole lot more on the phone emergency call screen, including medication info, allergies, numerous emergency contact details, organ donor confirmation, etc.
That should do it. I don't feel the need to tattoo information on my body.

Must admit in my cycling jacket rear pouch is a credit card sized thing with my name and emergency contact details.

I do the same, no flat battery, broken screen or other technical let-downs. One in a front pocket, one to the rear, remember, if someone is looking for ICE you have probably been in an accident so first responders won’t want to turn you over to look in a cycling jersey back pocket.
Maybe the importance to a degree depends on the next of kin, your current medication, allergies, etc.
In my case my "next of kin" lives over 60 miles away and if contacted would very likely agree to medical advice. I'm not on any medication and have no allergies. So whilst such info might save some admin time and reassure I doubt it would impact emergency treatment.
But for some eg on blood thinning medication maybe with some significant allergies and a local next of kin (eg parent or partner) then such info it probably a lot more important.
nb I still do have Medical ID fully setup and accurate on my phone.
