                                                                                                                Blasphemous would not suffice...                                                                                                             ⸸
I've been wanting to make a mod like this for a long time as I originally tried to play BG3 as Papa Emeritus IV, but found I couldn't quite replicate his face design with vanilla tattoo presets. 
I finally took the leap and I've now gone and made 7 total different tattoo replacements for almost all of the designs featured in the band, Ghost, throughout the years.
Here is the full list and the vanilla tattoos that they replace:
Papa Emeritus I                           Mechanus Moons
Papa Emeritus II                          Macabre Chinstrap
Papa Emeritus III                                      Centipedes
                                                                                                  Papa Emeritus IV                           Masque of Wrath
                                                                                     Papa Emeritus IV (Alternate)                                    Shriek Mask
                                                                                                             Cardinal Copia                       Brokenshard Sword
                                                                                                                     Papa Nihil                               Wicked Reaper

Due to them being replacement tattoos, they may show up on NPCs other than your Tav - I personally don't use Unique Tav but maybe there's a way around by using that if it truly bothers you. 

Tattoos can be used by both masculine and feminine presenting Tavs, all races etc. Just bear in mind that due to the nature of tattoos they will stretch and maybe deform dependent on face shape.

I wouldn't recommend trying to use this mod with other tattoo packs. Other than that, you should be good to go!

INSTALLING:
Unzip your file and drag the folder, 'Generated' to your 'Data' folder within your Steam installation of BG3.
(SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data)

UNINSTALLING:
In the same folder which you dropped into data, find the .DDS file by following this pathway
(Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\_SharedAssets\SHARED_Atlas\Resources)
Once found, either delete or rename the file so that the game doesn't pick it up.
All done :) You'll go back to base game tattoos.

For screenshots I've been using the following mods to make the different characters as close as I can (Maybe you can make them closer!)
