Oh, I dunno - I quite like the idea. Seen from the perspective of starting/developing characters, they would start with what, half a dozen? It could be an interesting prompt to players to retain a minds-eye image of what their characters look like, and to consciously portray these aspects to other players and the GM. Further, it offers a nice component of a ritual associated with induction to a new layer of the cult. OK, so we we don't want to go as far as "tattoo-emon: gotta catch 'em all", but it sounds like good world-colour to me. I also like it because of its rather visceral nature, it chimes well RW tribal scaring and use of tattoos and the like.
