They are completely different things in FFXIV. Miqo'te are born with facial markings that are 100% genetic. They are like Au Ra scales. This is different from the face paints and the tattoos, which you can freely change in-game.

Miqo'te are not the same as Mithra. They are a lot more unique in lore and design than people realize.
