Chances are, it would be like hair or bun ears (if you choose to), and the just get covered.I think the biggest argument towards the addition of tattoos as a customization option is that it would even be a benefit to people who don't like tattoos, so we wouldn't get more gear pieces(see: Skyworker's Singlet) ruined by the addition of tattoos baked in, especially bad if you are of reptilian persuasion like yours truly, baked in tattoos just don't agree with scales, and always looks awful, even if I liked tattoos.
Now, I don't think it is likely for such option to be added at all, just that if it were, I wouldn't have anything against it, if anything it wouldn't even register with me.
Dawntrail is what I imagine the entire MSQ as a healer-main.

Guys I'm tired.
We have people running around in maid outfits (I personally find that style particularly repulsive, but again, personal issue) and bikinis. We have people running around in mascot costumes, and things like the fall guys collab gear.
I don't understand the 'IMVU' argument and frankly I find it irritating that this community would clutch pearls over one kind of style when we have stuff that's sexualizing all throughout the game. To me, tattoos and piercings are a style choice, not something that screams 'I want to go to an adult venue'. If that's the message other people get from the style, well that's the message I get from the whole maid outfit thing and some other choices, yet I'd never argue they shouldn't exist just because I personally dislike seeing it.
While I really, really wish this thread was presented a lot better, it does really feel tiresome that once again this community is showing its true colors and being selfish while touting it's 'welcoming and accepting'. You can't claim to be both.
'My likes/style for me but not for thy' is how this all is coming across and having a large amount of the community (yes, I can see likes on posts) say my favorite style (goth/punk/alt) is repulsive/only for 'venue content' and should never be added tells me the whole 'welcoming community' everyone preaches is a lie.
Now - will I chalk it up to the forums being toxic? Sure. But I want to point out the hypocrisy and say my piece. Think that's all I'll say.
Also - do I expect piercings/tatts to actually be added? No, I don't, but people wanting it and having a style aren't anymore invalid than those in preppy/bright styles.
For the love of gods, this game should be more alt-friendly. At least drop the story requirements if you've completed it on one character & share shop purchases with the entire account, bare minimum. Support alt friendliness: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/506856-Suggestion-FFXIV-Alt-Friendliness
Chances of them doing that are very very low. Though I do trust that, like all gear, it would fit into the wiorld, and not automatically make everyone look like modbeasts.Guys I'm tired.

What I would like to see even more, however, is the option to be completely shaven bald. We already have the monk dots, give us a the bald head to complete the set.
"Buddha bless!"
Do you have freckles and red hair?

I liked Lamull's double earrings. But of course one pair of those "earrings" are a Lala face option. That's the sort of customization I'd like to see expanded.
Yeah, Lalafell in general have several hoop earrings as part of their baked in facial feature options.
Miqo'te and Elezen also have clasps and clip options for their ears (you can change their color) and some Au Ra can have silver jewelry on their horns.
I dont see the problem with more customization, so long as it is tasteful (tattos, piercings obviously fine) just don't want to see no 20 ft giant lizard men with a superman chest, and his cat girl harem with.. well your mind can be creative. Any customization is fine, as long as done tastefully and to genre.
