[Titor]

The tattoo was given to characters who cleared the quest "United We Stand (Grand Company)" Sitting around for 90 days would not have given you the Legacy Mark

That quest is required to view the alternate cutscenes. There are tattooed characters who have reported not having the alternate cutscenes (though this may have been a bug). Either way, that requires no financial contribution or support as it could have been done during the free campaign.

I may need to be corrected by someone who was actually there, but I was under the impression that the "Free Campaign" was only open to people that had been paying prior to the game being tossed essentially back into beta.
