It was not given to every 1.0 player. As said above, there are some players who had bought collectors edition of 1.0, and played for a while at the beginning, paying money, and have no tattoo or anything to show for it, not even legacy benefits.
Then you have someone who created a character at the right time and never played again who has it. This is proof it is literally an event item and not a 'thank you' or anything of that nature.

The 'thank you' is the legacy status with reduced subscription cost.
