    If you’re thinking of Darth Maul, that was his face because he was a Zabrak and they sport facial tattoos. Facial tattoos aren’t a necessary feature of the Sith.

        In one of the books it talks about him earning the tattoos. I think they were related to sith alchemy or rituals but were fairly niche among the sith. Palpetine was a weird one even for the sith it seems.

        From wookiepedia:

        Physical characteristics

        Distinctions

        Vestigial horns,[1] two hearts,[3] facial tattoos

        Elsewhere

        The majority of Zabraks wore facial tattoos which often indicated familial ties, but could also simply be based on an individual’s personal taste.
